do you mean insque and remque? they are standard unix lib calls which do
some linked list stuff for you. i have used them in a generic linked
list module which was used by an event loop system i wrote. i wasn't
worried about storgae size but cleanliness of the code.
BTW those 2 lib calls derived directly from the vax having them in it
instruction set and people wanting a way to get at them from c.
