It would be greatly appreciated by me (and I expect others) if the questions/ comments about specific architectures--compilers were not posted to comp.lang.c. If it is not applicable to the language in general, move it else- where. I don't care about Intel segments, and hopefully never will have to again. -dave bonnett;Center for Seismic Studies, Arlington VA bonnett@seismo.css.gov

I don't see how you would expect people to change newsgroups in the middle of a thread. It started as a TurboC memory models question. Where else would you post it? The hardware type group? Intel discussion group? I use TurboC with DOS, and cc/gcc with Unix. I think it is helpful to know of the problems (current or future) that one may run into while programming in the two environments.... I guess my question to the group would be, So what? Just don't read the articles; especially if it bothers you that much... +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Brandon Brown | Internet: brando@uicsl.csl.uiuc.edu | | Coordinated Science Laboratory | UUCP: uiucuxc!addamax!brando!brown | | University of Illinois | CompuServe: 73040,447 | | Urbana, IL 61801 | GEnie: xmg23356, macbrando | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

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
