No, the list structure you have seen is something which i like
to allocate in the pool.

The reason why i am using a pool is because i like to control
the behaviour of the pool it self.

The idea is to achieve some kind of object persistency by writing
out all objects allocated in the pool when the program is forced to
terminate. Additionally the pool is going to be located in a certain
pice of shared memory.

Since the pool knows the sturcture of the objects to be stored
there he is able to derefernce the pointers like Next when wiriting
it into a file.
