Yes, but when they do that, they're building an abstraction of their own on top of the facilities provided by the C language. C itself has no notion of pass-by-reference. If it did, the programmer would be able to use it directly instead of having to insert & and * operators himself. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
