If you *MUST* use dynamic arrays and want to do it with
OBJECTS/structures you have to remember to  
WHATEVER **myarray=malloc......
Have to have the double pointer thing to make it an array of pointers
which point to objects.  With just   *myarray you create an array of
unique and seperate objects.
