Sorry 'bout that Graham, I was writing it on the bus and proved that indeed the syntax is a beast and I didn't remember it either, and I went through this myself just a few days back. I sort of understand the explanation by Ken Thomas, although I never really gelled with the C function pointer syntax and always had to look that up. Not sure whether that last little wrinkle, the ^ before the return type when you declare one, is easily explained by anything. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
