  I just got djgpp, and I'm trying to learn the diffrences between real
mode and protected mode.  Is there any way to allocate a block of memory
that is both in real mode and protected mode?  I need to have a real
mode function put some stuff in a buffer that my protected mode
procedure can access.  I've been looking at the function
__dpmi_allocate_shared_memory but I don't see how this function works.
Is this the right function, or am I going about this all wrong?
