Array problems in Mathematica

Has anyone come accros the following?

Firstly, applying N[] to an array also carries through to the arguments.
i.e. N[2 a[1]] = 2. a[1.] and not 2. a[1]
Is there a way to protect the arguments of an array from N[]?

Secondly, using CForm on arrays gives the output in unappropriate form.
i.e. CForm[a[1]] = a(1) and not a[1]
Now try to write a C program splicing in output from Mathematica containing
arrays and the compiler recognises a() as a function, not an array.
Is there a way round this? I really can't understand the logic here, since
both Mathematica and C use [] for array arguments, so why should CForm[] convert
to ()?

I would be most grateful if anyone has any suggestions.

					Thanks in advance
