Something like this should work: char *arr[4]; float fl=4.2; *(float *)arr=fl; i wouldn't count on a float being 4 bytes though, it probably depends on the implimentation. Also, if you're thinking of using this as a way to have data portable across platforms, it won't work (different machines may use different float formats, and this would still have endianness issues). -- finger for GPG public key.
