Hi Guys, I really need some help big time on this one, can anyone help put
me out of my misery ?.
Right, I have a structure in my program:

struct { float xpoint[9],float ypoint[9] } shape[10];

Fine it works, everythings OK, but now I want to be able to increase the
amount of data used by xpoint and ypoint while still using the SHAPE
identifier.
eg. shape[1] will be xpoint[9],ypoint[9],        shape[2] will be
xpoint[25],ypoint[25],
     shape[3] will be xpoint[3],ypoint[3]          etc.....
However I cannot just allocate a big variable as shape[1] could be just 3
and
shape[2] could be 8000.
I still want to be able to use my - shape[ whatever ].xpoint[ whatever ] -
code.
Not knowing what the varibles xpoint, ypoint, will be at compilation time
they must be dynamically
allocated, as the file length for each shape could vary.
The idea being that I can load my 3d objects into the shape varibles.

Please Help !

Thanks, Paul
