I would like to read the date of the PC BIOS within Windows using
BC 4.0.  The DOS version of a program I have written reads in the
bytes at addess 0xf000fff5 and works OK even when run under Windows.

The same routine in a Windows program does not work.  Any ideas on
how to create pointers to this same address.  

Any feedback please EMail me at address civeng1@ml.petech.ac.za

Thanks
Keith C. Simon
