Thank you everyone who replied to my query about how to handle linked lists. Seems the concensus is that I have to decide how I want to implement the list (oh, really? :) ). Some say use pointers and risk fragmentation. Others say use handles. Someone even sent a whole object class! And I see that several of you have debated the topic as well. Again, thanks a lot. Now I dunno what to do. :) -- Jason Gross Comp Sci Ugrad University of Miami Class of '91 (?) =========================================================================== Hey, wanna save the world? | Got sumtin' to say? gross@umiami.bitnet Nuke a Godless, Communist, | Pick and choose! gross@umiami.ir.miami.edu gay whale for Christ. | gross@miavax.ir.miami.edu - Anonymous | jgross@umbio.med.miami.edu =========================================================================== The University of Miami has a lovely fountain.
