When the block is entered, the space is allocated, and when the block is left, the space is dealocated. This has the added advantage of accessing the data through a variable instead of a pointer, making for cleaner code. ______________________________________ The overworked keyboard of Tim Maroney duke!unc!tim (USENET) tim.unc@udel-relay (ARPA) The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
