I know there''s the the zeromemory function, but that''s a windows function. Isn''t there just a regular ol ascii C version of that function. I remember something like zeromem, but I can''t find it in the sdk. Thanks in advance --Vic--

The memset() function will do it for you.

It's memset:

void *  memset ( void * buffer, int c, size_t num );

Fills 'num' bytes of 'buffer' with the character 'c'.

Beware of that ''NULL'' notation. You set the memory to 0, not to the ''NULL'' pointer.
