Subject:	calling real-mode interrupt handler

Hello all:

I'd like some help on calling a real-mode interrupt handler; normally, 
one would do something like:

_go32_dpmi_simulate_int (vector, &regs);

However, the real-mode handler I'm calling is remarkably picky; it hates 
being called by _go32_dpmi_simulate_int () if running under windoze (but 
works fine under ms-dog).

I would like to know how I can call the handler _from real mode_. A rough 
idea would be:

> install a real-mode function (maybe an interrupt handler?)
> the real-mode function calls the (ill-behaved) handler
> my PM program then calls the real-mode program which then passes control
  to the ill-behaved handler

I'd like to know how this could be done (possibly in DJGPP v1 as I don't 
have v2 yet...) and if it's possible to install a real-mode _function_ 
(not an interrupt handler) so that call overhead is minimized.

Thanks in advance, and thanks again to all the people who've answered my 
posts!
