Hi !

Is it possible to define a structure that uses arrays that are not indexed ?
Are there any tricks how to "teach" the compiler to somehow calculate the 
number of indexes needed 
(something like the stuff done for char arrays like:
/*char pointer table with each member indexed up to NULL character*/
 char *string[] = {"Dog",   
                        "Cat",
                        "Chicken"};) 
when the structure variable is initialized ?


typedef    struct
{
    int    array[];            
} STUFF;

int    main(void)
{
    STUFF    morestuff = {1,12,3,56};    // Does not work. How can you "teach"
                                                            // the compiler to calculate the array indexes
}

Also, how do you put that damn pixel on the screen on EGA (12h, 640x480x16)
mode. (Yeah, I know that there are bitplanes or something like that but
a code example would help me more...)
