I accidently sent a message containing wrong information about C type qualifiers to this list (I meant to send it to the individual; even so I probably should have kept my mouth shut about something I didn't understand, but it's too late for that), so at the risk of compounding the problem of overflowing mailboxes I think I better set the record straight. "volatile char *p" means "pointer to volatile character" (since "volatile char" is a volatile character, "volatile char *" is a pointer to that). "char volatile *p" means the same thing. "char * volatile p" means "volatile pointer to character".
