The DEC C compiler DOES allow two different structures to have members with the same names, at different offsets (or at the same offset if you want). 2. It also allows full passing and returning of structures. To handle functions returning structures, the calling procedure passes as an extra argument the address of an area where the called procedure fills in the structure to be returned. - jr
