Generally, i find that building far pointers from short integers is not neccesary using a 32 bit flat memory model. Remember that djgpp does not use segmented memory, so the need to construct far pointers does not exist. Programming in djgpp is "more like" programming in unix then it is like programming in 16-bit dos. In a rough sort of way. jfn
