I usually create some new types for Pointers to structs, something like:

struct Dummy;
typedef struct Dummy T_Dummy;
typedef T_Dummy * PDummy;

struct Dummy {
   int a;
   int b;
};
PDummy* function_that_Returns_an_Array_if_dummies()
{
} 

void * function_that_returns_the_mighty_VOID_STAR()
{
}

main ()
{  PDummy singleDummy = (PDummy )malloc(sizeof(T_Dummy));
   PDummy* multipleDummy = (PDummy *)malloc(sizeof(PDummy)*nrOfElements);

multipleDummy = (PDummy *)function_that_returns_the_mighty_VOID_STAR();

}

Hope this hepls... [red]Nosferatu[/red]
