Linked Lists

[John Oxley <oxo42@yahoo.com>]

I posted a message about linked lists about a week ago and have had a lot
of replies. Remember I am a beginner. Mike Main's header file made no sense
to me whatsoever, and I have written a file which i hoped that someone
could look at and explain where I am going wrong.

thanks

    printf("%d",list->HouseNumber); // Here is the error
