Bob -

If you're looking to allocate a dynamically sized array, then you pretty much
MUST use malloc() (or a variation).

Example:

   Allocate an array of pointers to type int. The array will be 'num_required'
   long:

  num_required = 49;    /* or whatever */

  .....

  int *array_ptr;       /* pointer to a type of int */
  array_ptr = malloc(num_required * (sizeof (int *)));


You now have an array of pointers to int that may be accessed either in the
form array_ptr[0...num_required-1]  or array_ptr+0...num_required-1.
