Probably, history.  However, to make things really consistent, you should 
make sure that under DOS/V _go32_info_block.linear_address_of_primary_screen
also points to the same address as ScreenAddress, then putch will also 
work.  The best way to do that is probably to initialize ScreenAddress 
from the above variable on conio.c.  Does anybody see any problems to do 
that instead of the default 0xb8000?
