  The typedef TREEPTR is correctly made.  However the function
prototype mixes far pointers and pointers that default to near
unless you select another memory model (isn't the x86 model wonderful?).

  For the prototype stick in another `far' in front of the `*' to
match the declaration for `tree_l'.
<> 0018  static TREEPTR func(TREEPTR far * ppr)

  For the assonance-lovers among the readers, pronounce the decl:
"char far * far * foobar;"
