No. In Win32 you usually pass in the address of an auto variable of a struct, the functions do not allocate the memory for them. There are exceptions (like strdup), but usually you need to pass in an already allocated chunk of memory that the library function will work on. -- Tamas Marki - http://tmarki.on.panonnet.net
