Hello all!

I'm a newbie and I have (perhaps because of that) problems with the use of
the farpeekw(); function:
In the web reference is written that to access DOS memory, "_dos_ds" should
be passed as the selector argument. But my djgpp doesn't know this
"_dos_ds".
What do I wrong?


Following my little test program:

#include <dos.h>
#include <sys/farptr.h>

int main()
{
unsigned short number;
number = _farpeekw(_dos_ds, 0x400);
}

Returned error: '_dos_ds' undeclared


Many thanks
mfg

Felix
