Ok, so I'm a newbie to the newgroup (I found it today) so I don't know what 
the main topics are. I've visited www.delorie.com (and used the links) but 
I'm having trouble with a _tiny_ problem, maybe I'm just blind :).

If I can't use MK_FP, FP_SEG or FP_OFF, how do I do the following:

  union REGS r;
  struct SREGS s;

  s.es=FP_SEG(VESA_mode_info_ptr);
  r.x.di=FP_OFF(VESA_mode_info_ptr);

to change the data degment reference and get the VESA mode information put 
in my VESA_mode_info structs?

This is bugging me because my libs work fine in Borland C but it's tricky 
(if not difficult) to port them to DJGPP.

Thanx in advance.
