=========
My posting was absolutely wrong and should be ignored. You have by now
seen correct answers. I have no idea what led me to write such drivel.
Perhaps working 15 hours before coming home to look at the newsgroup
contributed.
It is also true that this is answered in the comp.lang.c FAQ available
from ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet-by-group/comp.lang.c. That FAQ is
not required reading here, as it is in comp.lang.c, but is still a
valuable resource. It is a shield against the garbage (like my previous
post) that sometimes gets posted as "answers".

|An alternative would be:
|
|#include <stdlib.h>
|int main(void)
|{
| int **a;
| int i;
| a = (int **) malloc(3000*sizeof(int));
| for(i=0;i<3000;i++)
| a[i] = (int *) malloc(3000*sizeof(int);
|....
|
| /* to free memory */
| for(i=0;i<3000;i++)
| free(a[i]);
| free(a);
|}
