Estevo, if this delivered for you, please remember to document this mechanism (___alloc_rc and the others) in the Wiki so it'll be clear also for others. Mikael

This might be just what I need, thanks!  Paradoxically enough, I was allocating my structs with ___alloc_rc, but I don't think I really understood how that works.

I'll ping the list when I have something that I believe is solid, and/or I'll put it in the dumping grounds, just in case it might be of use for anyone else.

Thanks again,

Estevo.
