Novice question.

[JOHN HEIM]

Didn't the ANSI committee say that "register" is a *suggestion* to the 
compiler that the varible be stored in a register for faster access?  
I seem to remember reading something about that.  It may be that that 
I got it from either the Turbo C or MSC 5.1 manual though.

At any rate, I *think* that if you're working in TC or MSC you'd 
probably be better off letting the optimizer decide how to use the 
registers.  True?
