	Thanks go to Eli Zaretskii, Christopher A. Triebel and Rafael R. 
Sevilla for their replys ... 

	Guys, sorry if I seem to insist at the same point (about 
MK_FP). What I'd like to have is the facility of refering to a memory 
position using a pointer, instead of a function (like dosmemput/get). On 
the Borland version of a program of mine I had:

	char far *screen = MK_FP(0xb800,0);

	I'd like something like:

	char *screen = Pointer(0xb8000);

	in djgpp. I tried the following code:

	char *p;

	mprotect(0xb8000, 4000, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE);
	p=(char *)(0xb8000);
	
	but I got a SIGSEGV singal at the execution of the mprotect 
function. Sorry about my ignorance but why didn't it work ?!

	Thanks again !

Best Regards from :
