 		 #180381 - pointers aren't unique to 'C'
Responding to: ???'s previous message
They aren't less of a problem in Pascal. I don't even know how they can be expressed in BASIC. While their syntax is rather cryptic to the uninitiated, they exist as a concept no matter where you go and in what language you attempt to use them.
