Hello...
  I was curious how I would get a segment:offset pair from a 32 bit
address in djgpp?
why you may ask? Because I need to get the segment:offset pair of a
pointer to calculate it's 20 bit absolute address so I can use it in my
sound routine(I'm *trying* to avoid using
djgpp_near_pointer_enable();)....
but being relativly new to protected mode programming I haven't a clue
how to do this...

for example.. i do this:
 unsigned char *buffer=(unsigned char *)calloc(64000,1);

this gets me a pointer to a buffer...now what I need from the pointer is

a segment:offset pair.....how would I do this?

TIA.
Derek
