  Sorry,
but you will need to teach me some more C language
so that I understand what that would change...
  In pascal the const only exists for function/procedure parameters
not for fields of structures...
  Does it simply mean that any attempt to use it
as a (char *) type will result in an error?
  But them, how can you set the value of such a field?


Sorry about my ignorance...
Remember that I am a pascal fan lost in C land just because 
I maintain GDB pascal language support...
