Yes, if you do anything complicated in C, you end up with your basic data type being 'array of struct ...', a data object of sorts, perhaps with some function pointers in there too. However, it is just a very different way of thinking when the only way you can access data is through a method provided by someone else's object instead of your own function. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
