Because what I have is C pointers I need to interface with. I am using Chars_Ptr because it has a Null_Ptr value and I need to test for, and pass, NULL. (And in C char * is assuredly able to point to anything.) But I am indeed considering using Address et al., and Address to Access conversion. Yes, the ARM has a lot of nice implementaion _advices_ on this. -- , M A R I O data miner, LIACC, room 221 tel 351+226078830, ext 121 A M A D O Rua Campo Alegre, 823 fax 351+226003654 A L V E S P-4150 PORTO, Portugal mob 351+939354002
