  Something bothers me about this example program. I works, but
I did not think the array passing and pointers would come out looking
like this. I've tried other ways of doing this, but this seems to be
the only way I can get it to work. Is there another way ???

#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
	int Board[3][3];

	init_board( Board );
	
	show_board ( Board );
}
init_board ( Board )
int (*Board)[3][3];
{
	int i, j;
	for ( i=0; i < 3; ++i ) {
		for ( j=0; j<3; ++j ) {
			(*Board)[i][j] = 0;
		}
	}
}
show_board( Board )
int (*Board)[3][3];
{
	int i;
	for ( i=0; i < 3; ++i ) {
		printf("%d %d %d\n", 
			(*Board)[i][0], 
			(*Board)[i][1], 
			(*Board)[i][2] );
	}
}

   Specificly the use of Board seems strange. Should I be using
int **Board somewhere? I did try using them at first, but things
wouldn't work right. Anybody care to make ANY sort of comment here?
