No, you don't have to assign the elements of the struct individually.  We
just went through this.  You can do anything with a struct you can do
with any other object, including assign it, pass it by value, etc. etc.
All ANSI C compilers and almost all UNIX C compilers now handle this.
In the dark old days, you couldn't do that, but that is no longer the case.
