I am trying to port some code, for reading the fonts in ROM for DOS.
Anyway, what I need to do is to get the memory location of this... I
have 2 pointers... segment and offset...

And I want to have the pointers added, for example if the segement is
0xAA and the offset is 0x03 then I can make a pointer to 0xAD...

The code I am trying to port looks like this:

char *offset=regs.x.bp;
char *segment=regs.x.es;

char *font=*MK_FP(segment, offset);

That is the code... the last line is the one I am having trouble with...
Thanks for the info, I hoped I described this well enough.
