" 
" In the THINK C User's manual, page 440, section 7.4.8 of the Language
" reference, it says:
"   "In THINK C, the type that sizeof returns is int, not size_t."
" The reason for this, IMHO, is to allow you to say:
"   "NewHandle(sizeof(int))"
" where NewHandle() expects an int.
No go. NewHandle takes a long. See pages II-32 and II-46.

"   "Many new language features in this release make THINK C more compatible
"   with the ANSI C standard.  Although THINK C is close to the standard, it
"   is not conformant as defined in the standard.  The remaining issues either
"   are of little significance or would require fundamental changes to THINK C.
