If that were true, then that would mean that the OS/2 programming
environment could not be considered ISO-compliant.  I have a copy
of the ISO C standard here, but I do not see anything that
indicates that you can convert a function pointer for use as a
data pointer.  Can you quote something on that?  BTW, if anyone
doesn't have a copy of the standard, you can get a copy of the
equivalent ANSI C standard by FREQing ANSI_C.* from 3:711/934.
Besides formatting (and the fact that it is a draft), AFAIK it
is identical to the ISO C standard.  BFN.  Paul.
