okay, i hate to ask question in here... (it's only rarely that i can ever
 answer questions and there fore i feel like someones pulling me around)

anyway, i got stuck (for the last 2 days now)

when i try:

long foo;
foo=800;
cout << &foo;

it only print's "1"... how come? shouldn't it print the referenec of foo? and
 when i try to put it in a varible first such as

long foo;
foo=800;
long stuck=(long)&foo;
cout << stuck;

it prints a number other than one, but when i run the program again and again,
 the number stay's the same. when i swtich around the loading order for the
 varible the number stays the same as well..

thanx for any help.

Paul
