to set up a pointer to the screen in turbo-c, do this:

#include <dos.h>

typedef struct cell {
  char letter;
  char attrib;
} CELL;

main ()
{
  CELL far *screen;

  screen = MK_FP(0xb800,0x0000); /* this is for the color screen */

  /* whatever you want here */
}


you could just make the screen   char far *screen   if you wanted to
deal with letter and attrib yourself.  The important part is the "far"
and the MK_FP which stands for make far pointer (which is a macro, so
you must include dos.h).

hope this helps.
