      From: muta...@gmail.com              I think SubC has a restriction on pointer sizes being       the same size as ints.              I'm thinking of having SubC target large/huge memory       model plus 32-bit ints using dx:ax etc pairs. I think       SubC retrieves things from the stack for every operation       anyway.              I don't particularly care that it is going to be slow.              I do care about the increased amount of memory that       it is going to take, and I think I'm going to have to       switch to Turbo 186/80286 to give me the required       room.              I still wish to be restricted to 8086 instructions and       registers though.              Then at least apps written for PDOS/86 that aren't so       ridiculous can be run under real MSDOS.              BFN.
