The more general case of runtime and type checking is handled by line of "Safe C" products by Catalytix (617-497-2160). Your particular "Bcc Label" example is not even close to what they do. Contact them for further information. It may be good enough for you. DISCLAIMER: I used to have some business and personal ties with Catalytix. Both have lapsed. >Please send a copy of your response directly. >en2j@crnlvax1.bitnet Sorry, bitnet? what's that? :-) pZ -- Paul Czarnecki -- Spam, spam, spam, Usenet, and spam {{harvard,ll-xn}!adelie,{decvax,allegra,talcott}!encore}!munsell!pz
