Berk,

I guess I don't understand why there is a template instantiation file for a
non-template class (the declaration is below).
class VTK_COMMON_EXPORT vtkDataArray : public vtkAbstractArray

so my thoughts were to look only in vtkDataArray.cxx. Can you tell me what
clues I should have seen to go look for vtkDataArrayTemplate.txx?

Also, it looks like the Initialize() function deletes the array (as I
expected) so can you comment on why the two methods in my little example
would not work the same?

Thanks,

David
