I need to access screen memory directly under microsoft C( actually QuickC).
I know that the answer is to use a pointer to screen memory, but I don't
know how to do this in C. This is probably painfully simple, but I don't
know how to do it. 
What I need to do is read screen memory starting at $b000:$8000 ( cga text
mode).  respond via e-mail

Thanks in Advance.
