Hello -
In DJGPP, since it's a 32-bit compiler, when I make a variable of type char,
does it store that variable in a 32-bit slot in memory, or an 8-bit slot? I
heard somewhere that when you make a variable if it is smaller than 32 bits, it
will store it in a 32 bit slot. If it does do this, is there a way to make it
store a char in an 8-bit slot and an int in a 16 bit slot?
Thanks,
