Since you're converting an old application, you might also want to be careful so that no assumptions along the lines of "c1FaLen * 8 bits of storage are needed for the address" are made somewhere. Usually when people store the length of a string explicitly, it's, in my experience, used for that or a similar purpose (writing records, allocating space etc). c1FaLen will only tell you how many letters/characters/glyphs c1FullAddr contains (the usefulness of which I don't really perceive). =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
