If you meant "What is the difference between CharPtr X and Char X[10]" (note
caps) then this is just a basic C question. The difference is that when you
declare Char X[10] you are allocating space for 10 Chars, with X being a
pointer to those chars, but when you declare CharPtr X you are only
allocating space for the pointer X.
For example:
static void MyFunc(CharPtr msg)
{
CharPtr X;
Char Y[10];
StrCopy(X, msg); // ERROR. No memory to hold msg contents
StrCopy(Y, msg); // OK if msg has less than 10 chars
}
