Hi Curt,

I just read your comments about linked lists:

That's the theory for linked lists, but I don't believe blitz2 works that
way.
In my project I use eight different lists. To initiate each list, I
dim(ension) them.
If I insert two high values in the dim-command (which should be useless with
lists), the program refuses work because "out of memory" before there is
anything stored in any list...

Greets,
