I'm sorry if I seemed insulting. However, I get very frustrated at this
misconception that a pointer *has* to contain a byte index from location
zero.  The slapping etc. was not aimed at you in particular.

Having not used a NOVA for quite a while, my memory has become
somewhat rusty. Had I tried the code bursts on a piece of paper
first, I would have realized that they don't work. Please don't
mistake a short lapse of thought for a general ignorance of
the situation.
