in C you can do something like: (toward the beginning of your code) CovZ = (double *)calloc(p*p*K,sizeof(double)); (and then inside some kind of loop where you occasionally need to zero out an array the same size as CovZ) memcpy(wishart_C,CovZ,sizeof(double)*K*p*p); note that CovZ's only purpose is to sit around as a big chunk of zeros and occasionally be used to erase an array of the same size. this is actually a passably fast way to zero out a chunk of ram, be it an array, a few pages of data, or whatever. (faster than a for loop over the array entries, for instance). data copying, similarly, can be made fairly quick, especially if you're dealing with large chunks of ram. not having to worry about preserving structure during the copying is what makes this so quick. (i.e. start at this byte, finish at this byte, and just do it a page at a time). s. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
