Hi folks

I've finally got time to get back to a project which I've been working on
an off on for many years. I've been doing research into the process of
writing, and have developed sofware for collecting writen responses to
various stimuli. I'm particularly interested in the timing of handwriten
responses so I record the pen movements as a person writes on a graphics
tablet (x,y and time).

My question is - can someone show me a better way of recording the data. I
have simply set up a routine to save the x,y and time data every few
milliseconds as a person writes their response. The problem is one can
never tell how long it is going to take, so I need a way to save the data
which is much more flexable that a standard array - but on the other hand
it has to be fast because time taken to grow a handle etc could be
problematic.

Anyone care to show me a better way? I bet there is a good XREF solution.

Thanks

David
