Hi there! I'm new to djgpp and I'm trying to port my os (it's not finished yet) to c. Well, I have a problem. I built a selector for the video memory and want to write to the screen using this selector. How do I tell djgpp that I want to use that specific selector? I tried using a far pointer, but was unable to code something like: int far *pointer; It gave an error message. Can someone help me with this? Thanx in advance, David PS: Right now, the combination nasm/djgpp seems very much appropriate to me to write an os.
