heresy!!??! it's heresy to speak of pointers which _cant_ be manipulated
as integers!! ;-) 

a pointer is an lvalue that has to be manipulated as an integer inside the
processor anyhow! leave the hig-level stuff for people who like high-level
languages! 

(no im not trying to start a flamewar, im just being an extremist for the
sake of argument, but i _do_ cherish and take advantage of interchangable
inetgers and pointers.. :) 

happy hacking,
