    Note that in DOS-mode, accessing NULL is not trapped by the processor like it is in Unix or Windows. So using NULL as a source just gives you random data. Using NULL as a destination will change the interrupt vector table, which can be rather catastrophic to the environment, but will not crash the program then and there. This is due to the fact that DOS is an unprotected environment.

    This is a VERY good reason NOT to use Turbo C for anything - and it being 10+ years old is another good reason...
