I like the end marker best. We can do it many ways, I leave it to you folks, but let's try to not look at 2^16-2^4 entries in search of something :-) I still find the explicit termination marker very interesting, esp. since it is flash rewrite friendly. Pointers, let's not do them, instead, if we want such a thing, let's do indices. If we start doing pointers, LAR is no longer location-independent. thanks ron -- linuxbios mailing list linuxbios@linuxbios.org http://www.linuxbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
