Hello everyone, Happy New Year. I realize this is a very stupid question and that it should be painfully obvious, but I cannot seem to find the answer. Basically, I recently started programming in the DJGPP enviornment and have been able to do alot the of the basic stuff, I am very familiar with Turbo Pascal. Unfortunentally, I am not familiar with the other languages that the comipler is based on (ansi, enhanced etc.) and was wondering if there are any good books/docs etc on the subject. Also, I have been trying to find out about how to write, say a byte, directly to memory or to read a byte directly from memory. ie var P : ^void; begin GetMem(P, The_Space_I_Need); . . . end. Now how do I read the and write to the memory I have allocated. In Turbo Pascal, i could use the mem[segment:offset] array, but that is not available in GNU Pascal... I also wish to be able to read and write to ports, of the material I have found, I know that the port[] array that was in Turbo Pascal is also no longer available. What can I do in its place (ie writing to SB registers and to the Palette registers) Any help on any of the above problems would be of a huge help!
