I'm having problems compiling the following with DJGPP 1.10.  layer[layerCtr] is
a pointer to a Layer.

for (int layerCtr = 0; layerCtr <= nLayers; layerCtr++) {
   Layer * theLayer (layer [layerCtr]);

   assert (& (theLayer -> network) == this);

In the above, I get a "base operand of '->' is not a pointer" error on the
'assert' line.  I have similar problems when I modify the code to turn theLayer
into a reference to Layer instead.

I haven't tried this version under Borland C++, but the reference version worked
fine there.

Any suggestions?

Bruce
