The near and far keywords are ANSI C extensions, and are not described by the ANSI C standard. They happen to be needed by some segmented architectures. DJGPP is a 32-bit flat memory model, and so you aren't dealing with near or far pointers; everything is 32-bit. That is, int *goober is already a 32-bit pointer in DJGPP. -- Erik Max Francis, &tSftDotIotE http://www.alcyone.com/max/ max AT alcyone DOT com San Jose, California ICBM 37 20 07 N 121 53 38 W R^4: the 4th R is respect "Out from his breast/his soul went to seek/the doom of the just." -- _Beowulf_
