Cold anybody explain why Turbo C 2.0 takes a long constant like this:

ffff8e20 and turns it into -> 8e20  then takes
00ff8e20                   -> ffff8e20???

I had this occur when I was working on my app program..MOST ANNOYING.

It seems to only generate the correct address when you insert the two 00's
????
