  Can someone point me to some example code that uses hash tables?
  I'm trying to do something with them, and dumping core is the
  only result so far. The code frag I'm trying is:

  +new
    {
	//create a new hash table object for holding attribute name/value.
	    
	self = [super new];
        [self initKeyDesc:"*"        //ptr to string
              valueDesc:  "!"        //ptr to a double
	      capacity:    0];       //initially zero, grows as needed.

         return self;
     }   	  
 
 This is in a subclass of HashTable.

 Pointers would be great, example code would be bitchin too.

 Oh, for a NeXT programming book!
