Sorry, there was a slight typo in my example ... I posted an experiment.

It should read :

> int main()
> {
>   char *num[2][2] = {{"One","Two"},{"Three","Four"}};
>   char ***numPtr;
>
> /*******************
>   The error is here.
> *******************/
>   numPtr = num;
>
>   return 0;
> }

What I would like to know is why the following code works and the above
dosent:

int main()
{

  char *num2[2] = {"One","Two"};
  char **num2Ptr;

  num2Ptr = num2;

  return 0;
}
