Doesn't help when I get all obsessed with something. I was all "it's a pointer it must be declared as such!!!!"
Anyway that's most of a day's hacking wasted. At least rcs is over its mad.... Willard Sent from Samsung tablet -------- Original message -------- From "John R.

Are you sure you want me writing the compiler's library? :-( Willard Sent from Samsung tablet We all make those kinds of mistakes. But in the ideal case, the compiler does exactly what you tell it to, and sometimes that can be shocking :-) For others: Basically declaring a pointer is informing the compiler that there's a level of indirection implied for that symbol, that is, a variable that can hold an address that points to another variable. You wanted no indirection, what you wanted was just to bind a symbol and type directly to an address. A simple extern char CSRX does that for you. -- John.
