A small clarification: when I say that MemSet does not use any memory that you have to free, I mean it does not allocate new memory chunks and expect you to free those memory chuncks. In the prototype (above), 'dstP' is a pointer to some memory that you own. If you allocated that memory (with MemPtrNew() or similar method) then you are still obligated to free that memory when you are done with it. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
