1. RE: Uninitial.Vars

When I did send in the piece of code on pointers yesterday, i had the
gut-feeling
there was something about it I couldn't put my finger on. Waking up this morning
I knew what it was: A detour to uninitialised variables as well. Using the
length-
field a bit wiser yields this:
bit 31/32 bit 16--30 bit 1--15
type
bin 00 declared MaxLenArray(4) initialised length integer
01 "" (8) ""
atom
10 "" (1)
sequence
11 "" (1)
object
if declared.... =0: Variable NOT YET declared
If initialised length=0: Variable NOT initialised
You can UNDECLARE and UNINITIALISE now by setting the fields to 0.
Worth thinking it out further? Go ahead and take it as a start, I'm too absorbed
in two major projects right now, to spend more than a sunny sunday-afternoon
on it.
