Summary: Another Question


 While I haven't tried your code on our Ultrix 2.0 (11/750), I have
 had problems before with passing pointers (to system used memory)
 (i.e. argV) after various operations (I can go look ...). I believe
 one of the operations was passing "argv" to a function. This may
 be different, but what guarantee do you have about system allocated,
 and used memory; how long is it 'static', etc.? Sorry if this sounds 
 vague, but I avoided the problem by doing it another way (copying and not
 accessing again).
