Hmmm...might better check that C book, Kevin. :-)  Initializing an array of
characters with a string constant *is* kosher C.  Now, what might give a
compiler that's not careful some trouble is if the field is a pointer to
character, because in that case a less-than-careful compiler might emit the
assembly language for the string right where the pointer should be--it has to
save it up for later (possibly MUCH later, if there's an *array* of structures
being initialized).
