Hello,

Im working on a program that has a base class and thre other classes that 
derive from it.  

I want to make a pointer to the derrived classes, I want to do somethign
like this

*ClassPoint[100]

And all the other 3 types of classes can use this pointer, however in djgpp
you 
cannot do this.  What i need to know is how do you make a pointer to a type
of class you dont know at compile time.

I have tried

Base *ClassPoint[100] and that works however I cannot access the memeber 
functions in the derived classes.  Can someone please help me.

Vincent
