you might want to check out the Glue library :) direct access to structs is something palm will/may not support in future versions of the operating system. the main reason for this is due to system architectures (m68k, arm etc) which may result in different structural layout(s). the 4.0 sdk allows you to check this by setting: #define DO_NOT_ALLOW_ACCESS_TO_INTERNALS_OF_STRUCTS :) if you do anything like that, it'll barf on you and let you know where you should focus some adjustments in your code. // az [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ardiri.com/ -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
