Fat DS: Non-standard, doesn't work under Linux DOSEMU, and isn't
portable to Linux.
farptrs: I could use these, but I would prefer to just use
pointers.
I have a PCI video capture board which uses physical memory
to store the data - can I just allocate a buffer in memory
using malloc(), then map the card into this? Will this work,
or will the memory allocated be shuffled around?
Thanks,
