Okay, I committed this, but I found that some of the functions use malloc, others emalloc and more others use gdMalloc (which is a wrapper for emalloc). I don't think this is what we want, but I'm also afraid that changing everything to the gd* functions is a bad thing, as some of the structures should be persistent. regards, Derick -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Derick Rethans http://derickrethans.nl/ JDI Media Solutions --------------[ if you hold a unix shell to your ear, do you hear the c? ]-
