I have saved the matrices corresponding to the DCSs and tried loading them
back but instead encountered bus error!!!
The following is what I have done......

         
int oldchoice = -1;

void updatepos(int choice) {

pfMatrix storematrix[20];
extern int NumFiles;
int current, g;

/* Initialising and saving the matrices */
if (oldchoice == -1)
{
        for (g=0; g<NumFiles; g++)
        {
                ViewState->sceneDCS = pointer[g];
                pfGetDCSMat(ViewState->sceneDCS, storematrix[g]);
        }
        oldchoice = 0;
        current = NumFiles - 1;
}

        pfGetDCSMat(ViewState->sceneDCS, storematrix[current]);
        ViewState->sceneDCS = pointer[choice];
        pfDCSMat(ViewState->sceneDCS, storematrix[choice]);
        current = choice;

}

Thanks for the help!!!!!!
