The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
The C definition of a pointer is an offset from the beginning of the
storage assigned to the process where the pointer is used. Windows uses
the same definition. You don't store those pointers in a space you're
going to save and restore, either.
You can't even pass a windows pointer from one process to another
without using operating system API's to map it to universal space.

What you're describing is not a pointer.
sure it is. a guid of an object + offset to the location of the bytes in
the object can be used to point to data.
