[foxboro] OM programming and optimized use of omopen

Has anyone here programmed a C program using the Object Manager (OM) API
before, and if so, have you used the optimized omopen features?

What I need to do is to cache the net_adr structs that are returned from an
omopen call, so that I can make my own optimized lists at will.  In the
documentation, it says to make the list using omopen, but then to strictly
cache the results, and not modify them.  What I'm wondering is if I'm able
to somehow match the net_adr structs returned from omopen to any given
Foxboro object when I choose?  This way, if I'm rebuilding a list using
points from various other lists, I can do so without it having to perform
the broadcasts needed for the new list.

To help further illustrate, picture that I've opened two lists of 255 points
each, then close them.  I then take 100 points from each list, and want to
open them into a new list, but I want to use the previously returned
information to speed up the opening of the list.

Any of you ever attempted to do such a thing?

Thanks,
