Segments and offsets don't really exist anymore. All code is 32 bit and compiled
on the large/huge memory model. GNU C will reject the keywords near and far
because they have no meaning, so feel free to take them right out of the code.
But if you truely want DJGPP to have near and far pointer support, look in the
file djgpp\include\sys\nearptr.h and farptr.h.

DPMI is hard to work with directly at times, and protected mode takes the fun
out of programming, but better your program crashes than the whole computer.
