You have no choice with pointers.
My 86' assembler is very rusty, I worked more with the 68000. IIRC, you could do "short jumps", in which the destination address was relative to the current program counter. I never remember what model Linux uses, but don't we have short jumps? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
