Hello,
Can somebody please tell me why this won't work, and/or a better
method of accessing video memory directly with djgpp.
(This program is intended to put a smiley character in the top left of
the text mode screen)

#include <conio.h>

main() {
	char *p = (char) 0xb8000;
	p = 1;
	getch();
}	

TIA
