Hello:

	I want to do one thing with pointers and I don't know
how to do it, I read some faqs but still I don't see it clear...

the problem it's after setup the VESA linear framebuffer, with
the physical mapping functions, they return to me the selector
and offset of the framebuffer, wich I can modify with _farpokeb
function or using assembler... but I don't want to access to it
with this poke functions, I want to use it like a tipical pointer
in this way:
	linear[pos]= xxxx;
... because I think that access with farpoke function makes my code
too cryptic...

Some ideas?

thanx
	Jorge
