Well, I personally would post it to the ibm-pc.programmers hierarchy; just like I would post Mac specific questions to the MAC groups, NOT HERE. FLAME ON:: This is why we go to all of the trouble of creating different groups for different topics and interests. I do not feel that Intel segment register questions are relevant to me and you probably would not feel that Mac memory manager quirks were relevant to you. So learn the concepts of News and use the structure as it was intended... Notice the Followup To: line; That is how I would expect people to move the discussion.. The point is that Turbo C memory models don't belong here at all. FLAME OFF: dave bonnett; Center for Seismic Studies, Arlington,VA bonnett@seismo.css.gov
