Yes, there are two ways.

The first is to program in assembly language.  Look up the appropriate
#--- preprocessor command to do this.  Turbo C won't be able to compile this
from the integrated environment - use TCC.

The simpler way is to use the Turbo C predefined variables for every register.
Off the top of my head, they go something like:

_AH
_BL
_DS

etc.  Just use them like you would any other variable.  Of cource, code
written this way is unlikely to be portable, but you knew that, didn't you :)

You may have to include some special include file.  My best advice is RTFM.
