> IIRC "const" does not exist in *standardized* C... No, it exists in both C89 and C99. But the error is in your program, not the compiler. "const" in C is a promise that you do not change the value, and you break that promise. It may be different in C++, I don't know. For definitive answers, try the newsgroups comp.lang.c and comp.lang.c++ -- Richard
