I believe the Ptr class that was discussed in this thread is a variation on the MemoryBlock ptr property that has existed for as long as I can remember.
Yes, it is that very same datatype. The new feature is that you can peek or poke the contents of the pointer directly, without first wrapping it in a MemoryBlock.

Yes, that's the basic idea. Mars Saxman REAL Software _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives of this list here: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
