I've reached a point where I need the best of both worlds: a dynammically allocated list that can be index addressable, but grow unbounded in size. Just when I thought I would have to re-invent computer science, I remembered a standard memory function, realloc, that should allow you to re-specify the size of your memory block, keeping it at the same place (if possible) but with a new size. Has anyone played with this on the Amiga? How well does it work, and what is the speed penalty? Since its an ANSI function, not an Amiga function, do I have any control over where the memory is allocated (ie: CHIP/FAST)? If you can, respond via Email, it's getting tough speed-reading this group! Thanks, Dave
