I would like to malloc a three dimensional array that I could use to
represent a framebuffer.  In particular I would like to be able to
address individual pixel values, row values and column values.

	malloc f_buffer[xres][yres][3];
	red_pixel[x][y] = ?
	green_row[y] = ?
	blue_column[x] = ?

Does this appear to be something reasonable?  If so could someone give
me some direction on a good way to make ot work?  Thanks.

I have read some of the posts on mallocing arrays and it just doesn't
sink in.  Forgive me if I am being dense.
