Hi, on the other hand this is valid c-code ( I think :) long since I coded in straight c, appologise if I'm incorrect ): ( global scope ) char BitTable[] =3D {0x01,0x02,0x04,0x08,0x10,0x20,0x40,0x80}; char WelcomeString[] =3D {"Hi there"}; etc.. Which is an alternative typing of the ( possibly more 'correct' ): char *BitTable =3D {0x01,0x02,0x04,0x08,0x10,0x20,0x40,0x80}; =2E. etc.. Which both generate *constant* string pointers to the strings. /Tony Tony K=FCbek, Flintab AB = =B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2= =B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2= =B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2 E-mail: tony.kubek@flintab.com =B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2= =B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2= =B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2=B2 -- http://www.piclist.com#nomail Going offline?
