Subject: Re: Undeclared string variable

The code declares a char pointer string (char *string;) then assigns the malloc
to str which is indeed undeclared.  the code S/B:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <stdlib.h>

main()
{
   /* allocate memory for a 100 character string */
   char *string;
   if (( string = (char *) malloc(100)) == NULL)
   {
      printf( "Not enough memory to allocate buffer\n");
      exit(1);
   }
   printf( "String was allocated!" );
   return 0;
}
------------------------------------------------------------------

GRX drivers (.grn) support other than 256 colors.

Nope; you're all set.
