Thank for your help.  But I am still confused with the macro.

The fs_csp is defined as:

struct csum *fs_csp[MAXCSBUF == 32].  So index1 should be 0..31, while
index2 has no meaning, since each pointer points to only *one* csum
structure.  If you have char * charpointer[32], that will make more sense
(it can be treated as a 2d array).
