Another alternative in this case is to declare name to be a character pointer variable rather than an array.  Then it may be assigned the address of a constant array direct- ly or immobile space allocated dynamically with the standard malloc() function*:

    void   Person::set(void)
    {
        name = "Jack Knapp";       /* no problem with TC.  OR use... */
        name = malloc((sizeof char) * 80);     /* another approach: dynamic allocation */
        strcpy(name,"Jack Knapp");   /* no problem if name is allocated dynamically */
    }

Another circumstance where the handle implementation causes difficulties is when using the standard fread() and fwrite() functions for binary file I/O.  The following syntax is needed in this case.  (A type name given in parentheses is a CAST**.)

    HLock(object);       /* Mac Toolbox routine to prevent memory moving */
    items = fread(*(void**) object,(size_t) sizeof(Class),(size_t) 1,file_pointer);
    HUnlock(object);
