You don't need _MK_FP to access memory in DJGPP, as it uses 32-bit flat 
address space with no segmentation.

However, _MK_FP is also used in code fragments that access memory-mapped 
devices on the PC (like video memory).  If that is what you need, then 
please read section 18.4 of the DJGPP FAQ list (available as 
v2/faq200b.zip from the same place you get DJGPP) which explains how to 
do this in DJGPP.
