No, we have separate Ptrs and FunctionPtrs IIRC... One of the things that really bothers me about C is the way its unspecifiedness about types can "infect" other languages. For instance, what exactly is a Haskell Int? Java, at least, stands firm, but then platform-independence was one of Java's explicit design priorities. -- Ashley Yakeley, Seattle WA _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
