This may sound stupid because I am new to DJGPP although have been
using Turbo C++ for years.  Here is some code:

void main(void)
{
   int x;

   // some code here that puts a value into x

   printf("X is %d.\n", x);
}

This is just an example, not the actual code.  The number it prints as
variable X is way about the 32767 limit on ints.  (something like a
million and a half)  Why?

Also, I am using an Allegro Grabber datafile.  I have a binary file in
the datafile.  How would I put the first 2 and second 2 bytes of the
binary file into two int variables?  I have tried a bunch of ways but
maybe I am doing something wrong with the pointers.  I am not too
familiar with PM programming...

Please help.

Mike
