I actually had a similar problem.  And fortunately (as it turns out) I 
needed it to be a dynamic 2d array as well.  And what I did is I created a 
pointer-based dynamic 2d array object.  That worked for me.

As far as your question is concerned, perhaps creating an object might be 
the way to go.  

If there are better ways of doing it, I'd love to hear it.  Thanx in advance.
