Firstly, thank you very much for a prompt reply - I was afraid that this
thread might be dead.

Best thing to do is to make a new thread, and mention the subject of the
thread you want to reference (e.g. "see also the thread from January 2009,
subject 'Why can't I?'"). Replying to a 3-year-old thread is not the way to
go.

I will try to change the pointer to 8 bit

Argh! Bytes! 8 bytes! 64 bits.
