Hi everyone...
Now, please dont't laugh. I've found an effective way to
reboot a PC (even when running Windows), although I just
wanted to declare an array in C  ;-) ...
No, honestly, I've really got some troubles with arrays in
C (I know that this does perhaps not fit into a DJGPP
newsgroup, sorry, but I think (or at least I hope) that
somebody could help me here, too (please!!!)...).

I wanted to set up an array of pointers to some BITMAP
structures of Allegro:

BITMAP *ani1[5]; /* I think this sets up an array of 6
pointers (ranging von 0 to 5) to these BITMAPs */
PALLETE junk;

void load_animation(void) { /* load the files ANI000.BMP to
ANI005.BMP into the array */
  int i;
  char *str;
  char *buf;
  char *fname;
  for (i=0; i<6; i++) {
    itoa(i-1, str, 10);
    buf = strcat("ani100", str);
    fname = strcat(buf, ".bmp");
    ani1[i] = load_bitmap(fname, junk);
    }
  }

void unload_animation(void) {
  int i;
  for (i=0; i<6; i++) {
    destroy_bitmap(ani1[i]);
    }
  }

/* ... and so on ... */

So, I don't know what's wrong with my code...
PS: I'm currently trying to teach C/C++ myself (not an easy
task - after all, I'm a 15 years old student and I have to
invest ***huge*** amounts of time in school (although I try
to reduce that to the absolute minimum...)), so I hope you
understand that I'm having some problems with C/C++ [after
I've got used too much to really easy things like pascal...]
PPS: Feel free to use my code in your own programs - that's
really useful stuff!!!  :-)
PPPS: Don't laugh!!!
