I'd get your money back on the C compiler that did that - there's no
difference between byte and non-byte addresses in C.  I've only come across
the concept in SPL on MPE and I've used C on about 10 different UNIX
platorms, Windows, MPE and AS400.

It does get rid of the warnings though so I do use casting anyway.

Cheers
