[LUG] C array question

[Rich Smith <Richard.J.Smith@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I apologise if I posted this question before but i've been 
having some problems with sendmail of late.

I need to fill large arrays with blocks of numbers, I am 
porting a FORTRAN program !! and FORTRAN deals with this 
task as such:

DATA VAR/30*1,7*-1,14*1,1,-1,0,15*1......../

This fills the first 30 'cells' with 1 then the next 7 with 
-1, the next 14 with 1 etc etc

is there a similar notation in C that will fill a ceartain 
number of 'cells' with a predefined value ?? If there is 
that would be great as the only other way I can see of 
doing it is with loops and I would prefer to avoid that if 
possible !!!!

cheers
