Roger,
I deserved that. I was angry last night and appologize.

I understand the use of structures and use them a great deal. I am a big fan of them. And no, I don't use C for tiny 8051 projects. My experience is well beyond that but as I said, I deserved the shot.

My point was initializing structures can be treated as initializing arrays. Nothing more nothing less.

I stopped comming to this board a while ago because two people seem to enjoy spending more time being critical over technicalities then seeing the main point of the post.

I had a short tirade for which there is no excuse. I'm not a bad guy, I was just rubbed wrong. :-)
