Casting from a pointer to a non-pointer and back isn't guaranteed. (The only non-pointer guaranteed to be safely cast to a pointer is '0', although I'll admit I can't find a platform where any of this is an issue. For me, though, it was more of a size issue. An IV isn't necessarily the same size as a pointer.) -- Bryan C. Warnock [EMAIL PROTECTED]
