So, is a pointer a selector AND an offset, or just a 32bit offset into a
4G selector...in which case, how the heck am I supposed to make use of
pointers which use a 16bit base and 16bit offset...i suppose I could calc
the effective addx, huh?  Anyhow, which is it?  Sel AND offset or jyust an
offset?  Thank you for replying, but I'm still not totally clear on this.
