Fwd: [Dev-C++] array + pointers???

Let me clarify something:

Which works because, just in the same way that the name of an array is 
always a pointer, a constant string embedded in the code (a 
"hard-coded" string) *is* an array, so "it" is a pointer. It just has 
no name (until you copy its address to pszString, and from that moment 
on you'll refer to it by that denomination, right?)
