I've captured an IRQ with my own handler (irq 8 for timing)
and reprogrammed the PIT to synch to the display refresh. I got
the old int vector in

                 _go32_dpmi_seginfo oldhandler;

and I grab it into a structure like so:

    _go32_dpmi_get_protected_mode_interrupt_vector(irqnum,
&memIRQ[firstfree].oldhandler);
    memIRQ[firstfree].wrapper.pm_selector = _go32_my_cs();
    memIRQ[firstfree].wrapper.pm_offset   = (int)irqhandler;
    _go32_dpmi_allocate_iret_wrapper(&memIRQ[firstfree].wrapper);
    _go32_dpmi_set_protected_mode_interrupt_vector(irqnum,
&memIRQ[firstfree].wrapper);
    memIRQ[firstfree].irq = irqnum;
    memIRQ[firstfree].inuse = TRUE;

I tried to call the old function like:

  void (*memOldHandlerCall)(void);
  ...
  memOldHandlerCall = (void *)memIRQ[myirqnum].oldhandler.pm_offset;
  memOldHandlerCall();
  memOldHandlerCall = NULL;

but the prog always crashes. Because it's a timer which won't 
run at the same speed as the 18.2 clock refresh I won't need to
call the old handler at every interruption. How do I call it?

thanks in advance...
