When you are using C, you don't need any special routine to read
memory. All you need to do is to declare a pointer (near or far
depending on the address) and then you may read or write to that
location using normal assignment statements. Here is an example to
read the value at location 0xC000:0x0100

	char far *ptr;

	ptr = (char far *) 0xC0000100L;
	printf("Value at 0xC000:0x0100 is %d\n", *ptr);

The above above should also works for Turbo C.
