Hi;

Thanks to all those who responded to my question about the function pointers internal to classes.  The solution was:  don't do that.  I'm still going to try to explicitly cast the 'this' pointer, which I had forgotten about.  There just has to be a way, in the end, its just a function address ... Ooh Ick.

I have another question tho.  I saw some conversation about text editors a while back and decided to try jed.  It works pretty snazzy.  However:  I can't compile with make under jed; tells me there isn't enough memory to run go32.

I was using demacs, and it worked fine (but the delete/backspace thing was making me crazy).  I have a 486, and 4 meg ram, and a big hard drive.  I really like the jed syntax hilight and the 'conformist' key layout, but I want to be able to compile in a window.

I recompiled and relinked with djgpp 1.11m5, still happens.  What am I doing wrong?

Note:  it will work if there is no updating, or if all I'm doing is linking.  Anything else and it complains, try it twice in a row and it kaks dramatically!  Little squiggly beasts crawl around on the screen, lines shuffle about, computer reboots.

My posts sound like a Dear Abbey column.  Oh well...bye for now.
