    I for one have problems with this.  There is an Intel C compiler that
will not handle 0 for a NULL pointer in the large memory model.  This is
due to the lack of argument checking in K&R C.  (C++ is much better.)

If you wish for a program to be portable do this:

	#define    NIL(type)  ((type *) 0)

Always use this function and you avoid the problem.
