OK,  guys, I have what I'm sure is a really simple Amiga C programming
question for you guys...
 
I  want  my  program  to  have  its  own  pointer  when  its window is
activated.   I  know how to do this using SetPointer(...), but I don't
know  how  to  set up the data for the sprite to insure that's it's in
CHIP  memory...   the book I have uses Lattice examples, and I need to
know how to convert the following over to Manx (5.0):
 
UWORD chip My_Pointer[18]= { 0x0000, 0x0000, .... };
      ^^^^
      ||||
      Manx barfs on this     
 
If  I  remove  the  chip, it compiles, but unless I force it to run in
chip  memory  (ala  nofastmem),  the  data is put in fast RAM, and the
pointer is invisible!
 
Please reply to kolstad@cae.wisc.edu.  Thanks!
