Both TurboC and MSC have huge pointers that go through 64K boundaries. (Albeit,
I think that TC does it better at the penalty of longer execution times.) Since
those are the only two compilers that I have had much experience with in the
last couple of years, my guess would be that most of the others have some
support as well.
