This is part of the C++ socket wrapper class from the MSDN...
it's macro and defined
//#define MAKEWORD(low, high) \
((WORD)((((WORD )(high)) << 8) | ((BYTE)(low))))

in any case I strongly doubt that it is C standard :P
and the place to look for the answer would by:

http://search.msdn.microsoft.com

Nah, it's a macro that I wrote long ago - before MS even had their own
C compiler. It combines two characters into a 16-bit word.

I don't know how the OP found it ;-)

yeah sure... how about you search for it on google and see were you find
it..
you should then sue ms for piracy ;-)

Google doesn't know everything. I already know exactly where to find
it. Has it really come to this - people think Google encompasses the
total of human knowledge?

>you should then sue ms for piracy ;-)

Huh? I never tried to trademark it, and I suspect MS's implementation
was independently developed. OTOH, it might be cheaper for them to
settle ...

I trust that you do get the point - the macro in question (if it is a
macro) is not necessarily what you told the OP it is, and although it
might be implemented in standard C, discussing it in c.l.c is
pointless without seeing the implementation.
