Gorman) Newsgroups: comp.lang.pascal Subject: Re: Pointers.. Summary: Shouldn't try to save the pointers! Message-ID: <4854@arcturus> Date: 30 May 89 21:21:55 GMT References: <3398@westfort.UUCP> Organization: Rockwell International, Anaheim, CA Lines: 9 What you should be doing is manipulating a file of boardREC, not boardTYPE. Saving pointers into memory locations in a file is not a good way to do things... there's absolutely NO guarantee that the next time you run the program, memory will look exactly the way it did the first time!
