On platforms where integers aren't the same size as pointers, things can go wrong if 1) you pass 0 to a function that expects a pointer and no function prototype was available during compilation, or 2) you pass it to a function that takes a variable parameter list. So it is a good habit to use NULL for pointers. /Simon
