I'm having a little difficulty getting something to work, so maybe someone 
here can help me out. :)

What I need to do is allocate a chunk of conventional memory.

Here is what I've got right now:

    char *convBuffer;
    _go32_dpmi_seginfo convAlloc;

    convAlloc.size = (fStat.st_size+15)/16;
    if (_go32_dpmi_allocate_dos_memory(&convAlloc) != 0) {
        return (NULL);
    }
    convBuffer = convAlloc.rm_segment;

This doesn't seem to work.  What do I need to do to make "convBuffer" point 
to the "segment:offset" of the conventional memory allocated with 
_go32_dpmi_allocated_dos_memory()?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
