b800 in borland c++ builder

[T.]

Hi, is there any possibility of getting the pointer to text screen memory in
borland cpp builder console applications (like in borland cpp 3.1 with (char
far *)0xb8000000)?.

TIA

no... a console app is not the same as a DOS app. There are however windows
APIs you can use to get a handle to a screen buffer which you can manipulate.

Here's a library that will allow manipulation of the console application
screen in a manner portable to both console apps and DOS apps:
