[Dev-C++] Struct "tags" and things

[Daniel G. <sp...@ho...>]

typedef struct _MyStruct
{
   //...Data

} MyStruct, FAR * LPMYSTRUCT


My questions are
1) Why is it _MyStruct at the top? Is that the structure's real name and 
MyStruct is the typedef'd name?

2) I know about FAR pointers, but why is a pointer needed here? Why don't I 
just put MyStruct* LPMYSTRUCT; in my code?


Following from this, I see
#define GetMyStructProperties(lpdm) ((LPMYSTRUCT)(lpdm))


and the function is called often. What is going on?
