I have a few questions about djgpp... since I am learning C++ from a
different C++ book, there is some difficulty...

First of all, gcc doesn't seem to handle the keyword far, as in:
char far *harf;

This was mentioned in the info libc.a help files...  How can I maintain a
similar functionality?

Secondly, if I want to pass a memory value to a pointer, how do I go about
doing this?  (Both for far pointers and near pointer)  I get a warning
about casting harf (see above) to an int without a cast if I try something
like:

char *harf = 0x0013 or something similar.

Email replies appreciated, but I *do* read the group, so posting here is
ok too.
