That's right, it's another stupid question from Lars Damerow!!  :)

I'm trying to move information from the transfer buffer to a struct 
variable using dosmemget.  The struct is set up to match the data that a 
VESA interrupt is putting in the buffer.  So, this is what I'm trying:

   __dpmi_regs r;

   r.x.ax=0x4f00;
   r.x.ss=r.x.sp=0;
   r.x.di=__tb & 0x0f;
   r.x.es=(__tb>>4) & 0xffff;
   __dpmi_int (0x10,&r);
   dosmemget(__tb, 256, &vesainfo);


vesainfo is the struct that I defined.  I'm hoping that dosmemget will 
just dump the data to the address of vesainfo and fill in the struct.  
When this code is executed, however, vesainfo is filled with garbage.  
What am I doing incorrectly?  Is this even possible?  I'm using version 2, 
beta 2..  thanks!
