Hello everybody

I am in the process of porting some code from Borland C++ 3.1 to DJGPP. 
Now I'm up to a timer interrupt handler. My Borland C one looks something
like:

int Factor;
void interrupt (* OldTimerHandler)(void);
.
.
void interrupt TimerHandler(void)
{
   static int Counter = 1;
   if (Counter == Factor) {
      Counter = 1;
      OldTimerHandler();
   }
   else {
      Counter++;
      asm int 0x1C;
   }
   asm push ax;
   asm mov al,0x20;
   asm out 0x20,al;
   asm pop ax
}

In converting the function the only line I'm having trouble with is when I
call OldTimerHandler().  At the moment OldTimerHandler is now in a
_go32_dpmi_seginfo structure.  What is the most efficient way to perform a
far jmp to OldTimerHandler in DJGPP ie. what function should I use??

Any help much appreciated...
Matt
