I do a malloc for each member of the array (of stuctures) :
array1[count]=(mystruct*)malloc(sizeof(mystruct)) as I need it after declaring
array1[NUM] beforehand. Then I need to remove a given member of array1. I've
tried: free(array[i]);   accnts[i] = NULL; but that gave a seg fault. If I
shift everything down, how do I use realloc? Somebody else suggested memcpy,
but again, I'm the rookie.
