[Herr Witten]

HA! Thank you for your patience. There was a misunderstanding. I 
thought you were saying that due to the multiple precisions, it would 
be impossible to create a list--due to differing memory allocations. 
This thoroughly confused me, because it is only a list of pointers.

You see, I have no formal background in programming, especially in 
low-level stuff, so I acquiesced to your statement as I interpreted 
it--considering my own knowledge inferior--and thus my inquiry is with 
regard to making such a list.

Please don't hold this thread against me. I do have good questions and 
a good knowledge. Thanks.
