See demo\dosint.ex for an example of converting an address to
segment-offset form.

There is no way in Euphoria of getting the address of a variable.
You have to use allocate() or allocate_low() to reserve a block
of memory and get its address. You can then use poke and peek to
store/retrieve information from memory.
