Hi Peter,

Why I find it strange that it's because I never used something like(* _mc).s before, I know ->and I use it but I didn't thought about it when I wrote this piece of code...

...and sorry about the word "cast" I thought that's the word to say "dereferencing" in english... (Our president want to reinforce the learning of english at university, I guess he should...)

>(You should usually also ensure that _mc is valid before
>dereferencing it like this.)
Yes, I take care of that.

>But I guess all this is pretty off-topic for this list.
thanks for that critic

thx for all Peter,
-Nicoo
