Ah I beg to differ with you. Try this, declare a data structure and
make it have one sub field of a pointer data type. Then make a second
data structure just like the first. Then assign the address of the
pointer in the first data structure to your favorite variable. Then
eval DS2 = DS1 and low and behold the pointer in DS2 is valid :-)
