Maybe I'm missing the point (I've not used M$ products for quite a long
time), but it seems the 'proto' keyword generates an additional jmp
to allow both near and far calls to routines. As __go32_conventional_mem_selector
doesn't have such a jmp, the call generated with masm points to 5 bytes
after the real start of the routine... so you shouldn't declare the
external __go32_conventional_mem_selector routine with the 'proto' keyword
Best regards,
