       Hello there,

       What is the correct way to initialize a structure pointer to access
the hardware under ANSI (Aztec C 5.0d)


       say:
                #define ADDRESS (0xAAAAAAL) /* for the sake of example */

               struct myblitterstruct *myblitterpointer;

               main()
               $                       .
                                       .
                                       .
                       *myblitterpointer = ADDRESS; /* I get invalid
                                                       ptr/int conv... */

               

       Your help is extremely appreciated


       Thanks
