What this procedure does is allocate memory on the heap for whatever size variable or structure you need and returns a pointer to this memory. GetMem can allocate up to 64K per pointer so now what you need is a way of keeping track of pointers. This is where linked lists come in. For a good, easy-to-read discussion of linked lists get a copy of Turbo Tutor. -- Bruce Mcara - via FidoNet node 1:140/22 UUCP: ...!herald!weyr!72!Bruce.Mcara Domain: Bruce.Mcara@f72.n140.z1.FIDONET.ORG Standard Disclaimers Apply...
