I heartily endorse this product and/or service. There exist tricks for making the macros in such a way that one node can be on *multiple* lists. Mostly they consist of having multiple low-level nodes structures in a single high-level node, then doing pointer arithmetic with offsetof() to move from the base of the high-level node to/from the base of the low-level node(s). That's something I would very much like to see. (Damn, sometimes I really do wish for C++ again. This is such a template thing.) -- Chip Salzenberg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
