Thanks Se7en, I'm going to have to get stuck into that eBook at some point after my exams are over - I've browsed the first few sections, and its a great book.

Great explanation Michael - even if you hadn't had your coffee  :-)  I particularly like the part about indirect addressing - I hadn't considered using the function in that way, it reminds me of using pointers.

Thanks

Thank you Lee. I first encountered the term ''indirect addressing'' when programming HP hand helds in the mid 80s (FML). Then when programming PLCs. When I finally got around to learning C in the early 90s it wasn't hard at all to wrap my head around the concept, kinda like "but of course".

Yea you young Whipper Sappers just be aware that time marches on and faster than you think.
You too will look back and say what happened to the past 20 years. So my advice is to take a
little time & plan for it.  :evil:

Be nice to your kids so they they don't abuse you when you are to frail to defend yourself.  Things like that ...
