HELP

A friend is working on a IBM PC with a 80186 and it has an eprom of some sort.
She needs to set a pointer to an ABSOLUTE ADDRESS (inside the eprom).  She
is only able to get relative addresses with a block of memory.

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO DO THIS??  PLEASE.  THANKS.

try 

    p = (char far *) 0x12345678L;

that will load p with 1234:5678 (in ssss:oooo form).

or - 

#include	<dos.h>

FP_SEG(p) = 0x1234;
FP_OFF(p) = 0x5678;

for the same results;
