I think your opinions on segmentation are just opinions, and very poorly informed ones at that. Certainly small segments are painful but big enough segments are very useful. After all, if you really love linear addressing so much, just declare a large segment and be done with it. (this assumes segments which can support 32 bit addresses) -- The VT220 keyboard is an <iS<o standard. That means the French can hate it as well as the Americans. <phil <ngai +1 408 749 5720 <u<uC<p: <[ucbvax,decwrl,ihnp4,allegra<]!amdcad!phil AR<pA<; amdcad!phil@decwrl.dec.com
