Can anyone suggest a book to help me understand the memory structure of 
the intel chips?  I need to understand near and far pointers and offsets
and whatnot as used in C. (I'm not an assembly language programmer, so
I'd appreciate something that I'll be able to understand.)

Oh for the sake of a flat address space.....
