Hi!

	I'm not agree with the useless of this kind of pointers!

	This idea is very useful not to move memory to memory when a single
access to the destination address would permit to save cpu time.
	
	As i told it, those pointers are very dangerous and are reserved to
expert user that have special features, for example, music play back
with DMA use or DOS program data read or write.

	Most of the other users would not need that pointers.
