!til pointers in c behave like arrays i.e if
int *pointer = tosomething;
then we can do pointer[i]. Kind of neat IMHO!

I decided teach myself c once and for all. Perhaps in good time I might be able to contribute and give back something to the free software movement, on which I've been a parasite for a number of years now. ;-)
