- * $FUNCNAME$
- * FT_PEEK()
- * $CATEGORY$
- * DOS/BIOS
- * $ONELINER$
- * Retrieve a byte from a specified memory location.
- * $SYNTAX$
- * FT_PEEK( <nSegment>, <nOffset> ) -> nValue
- * $ARGUMENTS$
- * <nSegment> is the segment of the desired memory address.
- *
- * <nOffset> is the offset of the desired memory address.
- * $RETURNS$
- * <nValue> will be a value from 0 to 255 if all parameters were valid and
- * the function was able to retrieve the desired byte.
- * <nValue> will be -1 if invalid parameters were passed.
- * $DESCRIPTION$
- * Use this function if you have a need to examine a specific memory
- * location. The function will return the byte at the specified
- * address as a numeric value. If you need this value as a character,
- * use the Chr() function to convert it.
- *
- * This function was written for version 5.1 of MicroSoft C. You may
- * have to modify the source code to use another compiler.
- * $EXAMPLES$
- * local nVMode := FT_PEEK( 0, 1097 ) // Get the current video mode
- * $END$
