	I believe you'll find that

	1)	int a, b, *p = &a;

	and

	2)	int a, b, *p;
		p = &a;

	ARE equivalent.  I took the code exactly as offered from the
net and cc'd it with no problems.  You will find that in either case
the compiler generates code to load the address of 'a' and store it
in 'p'.  1) is more compact, 2) is more explicit.
