I have written a TSR that reads characters off of the comm port, filters them,
and saves the important information in a buffer allocated inside the TSR.

Suppose the buffer name is 'aldsdata', TSR name is 'x100'...  Now I want to
write a program to yank the data out of 'aldsdata', from the foreground...

How do I find the address of 'aldsdata' inside the TSR??


Specifics:

Machine:	Zenith Z-248
Language:	Turbo C 2.0


I'm guessing something like store the address of aldsdata in an interrupt
vector, then declare a far pointer and put the address of aldsdata in that...
But it ain't worked yet.


I'm not a PC person by any means, so please, use simple words :-).

Thanx for any assisstance.

You know, this whole problem would be trivial if DOS was Unix...
