16 bit eh? I don't know about gcc and 16 bit, gcc wasn't around back in the PDP-11 days. I'd think gcc would have some sort of arch config file where you specify how many bits pointers have? For integers you can use int8_t, uint16_t and such. What about pcc? Does it *have* to be 16 bit? Bochs has a BIOS, right? What did they use to generate that? _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
