Do most compilers automatically convert void* to the destination type ? I'm
really starting to wonder if I should experience another compiler
. 

BTW if you remember the msg's about the screw up with the volatile thing in
borlandc you won't be suprised to know I took some more time to test it,
and it seems to only work if the code's within the same file (strange
indeed). This was however only tested as far as my use of it extended (the
volatile member variables).
