How? can i cast ?? to enable me to use a pointer (to use pointer arithmetic)
to access the pointers in the
memory at 0066fd6c ie. the addresses of the strings above = 0042944c,
00428160, 00428130, 00428148
and 0042813c ?????? I know i don't HAVE to be able to access these pointers
to get at the strings, i just want to
know how (& if) it can be done?! Please. Do i have to ?cast? in order to do
this
Any help well appreciated, cheers
