When I tried this sort of declaration, I got a whole bunch of errors : typedef struct { newtyp *member; } newtyp; I finally had to do something along these lines typedef struct stupid { struct stupid *member; } newtyp; Any ideas why the compiler can't figure out the original entry? -- Jeremy Sanders {philabs|pegasus|esquire|cucard}!aecom!{sanders|jsanders}
