I do not know if this is the correct group to ask the question.  If not
... oh, well!
Anyway, I am using the Rainer Schnitker's NT package (with rsxide) of the
EMX port of C/C++.
When I declare a pointer and assign a value to it, the compiled program
gives me the wrong result.
For example:

int main(void)
{
    int fellow = 1;
    int * point;
    
    point = &fellow;

    cout << "The address of Fellow is: " << &fellow << " and the address of
*point is: " << point;
    return (0);
}

As expected: &fellow should be equal to point.
But when I compile the program and run it using the NT package of the EMX
port I keep on getting the value of 1.
When I type cast these values in cout to unsigned I get the value: 334748.

What am I doing wrong?  Is there something peculiar to the package that  do
not about?
Thanks for any help,
Maan
