Ok, I know you guys are gonna shoot me for this, but here goes anyway...

My question is about Pointers, what I want to know are 3 things.. 1) What is the format of a pointer? Is it 3 bytes (selector--1 byte, base address--2 bytes)? Or is it 4 bytes? 2) If I performed pointer arithmetic that works under MS-DOS, will it also work under Linux without modification? 3) How do I create a generic pointer? Can I just use "Pointer"? reason I ask is because I tried plain Pointer once, and it didn't work.

Another question I have now while we're at it, is the latest version of GPC posted on the FTP site? Or is it still in patched versions? I want to upgrade, but I don't want to mess with patches unless I could upgrade from 2.01 Where can I find the upgrade?

Thanks in advance!
