Hi,
	I am mapping out the memory requirements for a programming
project that makes use of lots of pointers (excuse me, of access 
variables :).  And I haven't a clue as to how much space a pointer
takes up.  
	Will this vary by hardware?  This program will be compiled
and run (hopefully) both on a Pentium under OS/2 and on an Alpha
under Digital Unix (and possibly under VMS).
	So could y'all give me a ballpark figure for the memory
allocation of a pointer?

Robert
