Re: gets() and "string" variable type

I think I understand your "*4" question a little bit better...

Euphoria assumes that longs and pointers are the same size, namely 4 bytes. The
compiler takes care of the "*4". There is no byte addressing done, it's all done
by 4.

Does that help any? The pointer arithmetic takes the type's sizeof into account
automagically.
