Hi,

At this time I'm working with this piece of code using C++ Builder 6.0:

/*-------------------------------*/
PCHAR info;

info=(char*)(0xFFFF5); //Memory location 0xFFFF5
char p = *info p stores the byte at the location pointed by info

/*----------------------------------*/

But when the program reaches the third line of code (char p = *info) an
Exception occurs saying: "Acces violation Read of address 0FFFF5"

Does anyone know how can I solve this issue??

Any answer is really appreciated.

Regards,
Elkin.
