Hi all,


Video Access.
my next code work well in Borland c 3.5 ( 16 bits )
.....

unsigned int far *address;
int i;
char *Field = "This is a Test";

        address = ( unsigned int far *)0xB8000000L;

         for( i = 0; i < strlen(Field) ; i++)
                *(address+i) = *(Field+i );

.....


but , when a  try to compile with Borland C 5.5 ( 32 bits ) , it make a
Error with Far Pointer.
i changed

            unsigned int _FAR *address;
            ....

        but when i run Exe file, windows make a Error Call.


someone can tell me what is the best way to do it like Borland C 3.5

.
