Pointer & GPC question...

Mon, 18 Aug 1997 00:23:09 -0400

Ok, I know you guys are gonna shoot me for this, but here goes anyway...

My question is about Pointers, what I want to know are 3 things..
1) What is the format of a pointer? Is it 3 bytes (selector--1 byte,
   base address--2 bytes)? Or is it 4 bytes?
2) If I performed pointer arithmetic that works under MS-DOS, will it
   also work under Linux without modification?
3) How do I create a generic pointer? Can I just use "Pointer"? reason
   I ask is because I tried plain Pointer once, and it didn't work.


Another question I have now while we're at it, is the latest version of GPC
posted on the FTP site? Or is it still in patched versions? I want to
upgrade, but I don't want to mess with patches unless I could upgrade from
2.01  Where can I find the upgrade?


Thanks in advance!
