Is it fezible to have a linked list initiate itself recursively?  I
think the best way to describe what I'm trying to say is put some
code up...

class fooclass {
  int number;
  char character;
  fooclass *next;
  public:
  void init(int setnum, char setchar, int quantity) {
    number = setnum;
    character = setchar;
    if(quantity>0){
      next = new(fooclass);
      next.init(setnum, setchar, quantity-1);
    }//end if     
  }//end init method
};//end class
