Marhaba Mohammed,

Glad it's working for you! I'm sorry if I sounded patronizing, earlier; =
I
didn't mean to be. I'm surprised adding memory worked, but I'm glad it
works.

P.S. Are you in Jordan? (I saw the .jo in your address.) Where, if you =
don't
mind my asking? I've spent some time in Amman, and I love the country.

I checked it many times. No problem with pointers. It is a memory =
allocation
problem. The problem is solved because I added more memory to my =
computer.

it took all that time to compile because it is very big and uses class
templates and function templates heavily.
