Hello,

Is it possible to dynamically allocate a multi-dimentional array using the
standard Unix libraries?  How is this done?

I believe I understand how to do single-d arrays, but haven't seen anything
suggesting how to do multi-d.  Or at least 2-D.

Do you have to set up a single-d array and use a pointer to specify the
beginning of the current 'row?'

I hope this isn't too much of a novice-mode question, but an application
I'm starting to work on is the first I've done that needs dynamic multi-d
arrays--unless I can come up with a better algorithm. ;^)

Thank you for any info!

-JimC
