I would *not* recommend using ES for this purpose, since ES is used by 
the code generated by GCC.  Loading something else into ES means that you 
need to save and restore the previous value of ES.

It's much easier to use FS for this: neither GCC-generated code nor the 
DJGPP library use that register.
