        -------------------------------------------------------------------

           Mixing FORCE with C is one of FORCE's obvious attractions and
        major strong points.  However, there are a few pitfalls that you
        have to watch out for, but we'll come to those later.  For now,
        let's look at the bright side.


        Other, miscellaneous, but frequently asked C/FORCE questions
        --------------------------------------------------------------------
        Q:    What is the FORCE equivalent of a C structure?

        A:    Unfortunately, there is no equivalent of a user-defined
        structure in the current version of FORCE.

        Q:    Will a future release provide one?

        A:    We don't know.  There are no current plans for user-defined
        structures, but the idea has certainly come up before.
