Very complicated. :-((   I have over 3 MB of Turbo pascal code, some of it 
written in BASM, which I would like to port to FP. It's not going to be an 
easy task.

I use absolute addresses mostly for fast writing characters to video 
memory. How do I do that in FP ?  Is there a unit that I could use ?
