Right on the money man. That was it. It's weird... probably both of you
were right.
When I added a type Byte or Boolean to my structure that I packed, it caused
my floats to mysteriously point to random pieces of memory. I searched for
achrieved messages on escribe, but I couldn't find what you were referring
to.
Would anyone happen to know the correct procedure to take when packing and
unpacking a Byte / Boolean in a structure with other data?
Thanks once again.
