You have two rows of three coins: O O O O O O How can you arrange these coins so that you have to rows of 4? ------------- If you have a pointer to a node in the middle of a single linked list, how can you replace that node without walking through the list? ------------- If I think of the others that I have seen I will report them. Build a man a fire, and he will be warm for a day Light a man on fire, and he will be warm for the rest of his life!

Oh yeah, thanks, that helped, it turned out to be m_wndDlgBar

Store the index instead of the pointer. You can always get the pointer back. Joel Lucsy (jjlucsy@ameritech.net)

Thanks, Mike, it really fixed things!

The only one's I know of are UK based, but it might be worth getting in touch with them and asking them if they know of anything in Russia: TRY Charity Jobs (www.charityjobs.co.uk[^]), this is for people looking to work for a charity and get paid, but it's all UK based and their IT section is generally tiny. OR Volentary Service Overseas (VS0) (http://www.vso.org.uk[^]) I REALLY want to do this, if you can spare 6 months to 2 years of your life, this would be a fantastic thing to do! Their desperate for IT skilled people too... When I've gotten myself out of student debt, I'll be having another serious look at this! Or you could try your local green group (like greenpeace, friends of the earth or people and planet), these groups general have excellent links with other organisations. Here in the UK you can also get information from libraries, would Russian libraries do the same? Dylan Kenneally London, UK

Thanks for the tip, but how can I return a copy of a CObList object? Wouldn't it be too memory-consuming?

Thanks for the tip, Todd, but how can I find an open source project to participate in? (Sorry for the silly question, but I'm just a beginner)
