Huh? Where in the C Language Definition is this specified? Given the limitations of Intel 80x86 16-bit architectures, I could understand this being a possible limitation of poor PC C compilers. But I can't see this as being a shortcoming of the C -language-. As a programming language, C has lots of shortcomings, but this isn't one (any) of them... dave -- Note: if email to me bounces, use 'emery@grebyn.com'
