I am trying to write a simple program to clear the monochrome monitor
that I have attached to my system. I am using the GCC compiler and the
following code:
#include <os2.h>
main(int argc, char *argv[], char *envp[])
{
for ( int *p=0x80000 ; *p <= (0x80000+4000) ; (*p++) = 0x2007 );
}
This code causes an access violation exception when executed.
How can I correct this? How do I get access to this memory area?
Any help will be appriciated.. Thanks.
james
