I have just moved over from a 'friendly' Microsoft compiler, and have tried
compiling some old problems, but it (v2.01) won't compile with the
following lines:-

unsigned char far *videobuf = (char far *)0xA0000000L;
unsigned int far *videobufw = (int far *)0xA0000000L;

as you can probably guess from the variable names, these are vital to the
screen update, so please help me. I am probably just missing something
really obvious, but I keep getting the error 'parse failed at line x : *'
and so on. HELP PLEASE!
