Hey, waddayaknow, this looks like it just might work. I haven't tried to
fully compile this into a real program yet to see if it truly works, but
from looking at the output of ihc, it looks like it should do the trick.
A couple of notes:
- I'm not sure if this is just because the code is in a development
state, but I was curious why "szof" is passed to readlist when the
readAddr function in "go" makes the implicit assumption that it is an
array of addresses.
- I was initially nervous about seeing freeString passed to both
freelist and unmarshalllist, but I then realized that the "free ptr"
statement in unmarshalllist is commented out. Still makes me a little
edgy seeing it there as a parameter, but not nervous.

Hopefully, it will be. This fix should solve all of the foreseeable
problems I have with using HDirect for GTK. (Except for callbacks, which
is an entirely separate issue.) If all goes well, you shouldn't hear
much more from me for a while.
Thanks,

FYI: This latest snapshot caused 4.01-compiled ihc to dump core when
compiling the above example. I reverted to 3.01 to compile ihc and then
it worked fine.
