- I am trying to scan memory, i.e. searching the BIOS for a string using
- Visual C++ 4.0, but I found that MSVC++ 4.0 has removed the peek
- command. I have compiled, with BC++4.52, the functions that I need
- successfully, but I need them in a 32-bit DLL file. I found the source
- for peek, added it to my program, but where I ran it, I got a General
- Protection Fault.
-
- Does anyone know how I can scan memory using MSVC++ 4.0? I am
- interested in scanning all of C000, E000, and F000.
-
- I am hoping that there is a way to do this other than compiling a
- 16-bit DLL and thunk my calls to it.
-
- Any help would be greatly appreciated.
