You can create a normal char pointer to it if you wish but
you would have to turn off memory protection. As long as you
know what you're doing, it won't be a problem.

void *MK_FP(unsigned short seg, unsigned short ofs)
 {if(!(_crt0_startup_flags & _CRT0_FLAG_NEARPTR))
   if(!__djgpp_nearptr_enable())
	  return (void*)0;
   return (void *)(seg*16+ofs+__djgpp_conventional_base);
 }

char* video_ptr = (char*)MK_FP(0xa000,0);

And a waaaay you go!
