I think I need to clarify my question. I am, as yet, a novice so please realize I need the simple and the complex answers. I wish to get structs and arrays into and out of my functions in ways which are appropriately clear, regular/normal/standard, efficient, and hopefully even orthoganal.

C will pass the address of the first element of the array to the function, which will be expecting an address. So, in general you can: call_f(array[10]) <-- I wonder if the 10 is really required here... but it works for me on Turbo C. void call_f(array[]) <--Notice no 10. The function is only expecting the address of the beginning of the array. You can still do array[0]++ or something, but be careful not to reference the array outside of it's initially declared bounds (remember, an array of 10 goes from 0 to 9!). -- -Ted L.
