What you have done looks fine, but my guess is the original code would work
fine also if the _FAR_POINTER (macro? function?) was fixed to not use the
0xe00xxxxx type addressing, since it's not even necessary with dosmemput.
I think this change would be simplier, but what you coded is 
really equivalent.  

One of these changes needs to be sent to the maintainers - since that would
allow it to work under V1.x and V2.0.

Good work!
