Uh, isn't the '*' actually associated with the variable? If "char*" were a type, then: char* a, b, c; Are "b" and "c" the same "char*" type? Not according to the rules. They are "char" type. char *a, *b, *c; Now, what type are "b" and "c"? Would you rather see: char* a, *b, *c; -- Dossy Shiobara | do...@panoptic.com | http://dossy.org/ Panoptic Computer Network | http://panoptic.com/ "He realized the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly -- then you can let go and quickly move on."
