There have been a lot of replies that discuss how to use pointers to
access memory but every C compiler that I have has peek and poke library
routines (C86, Turbo C, DeSmet C) which are adequate for simple
access. The pointer technique is more convenient for multiple
sequential accesses but isn't necessary.
