I know that DJGPP doesn't support the keyword "far" and I know the DJ
Delorie posted some sort of zip file that would allow this but I can't
find it now that I need it :-(

I have a program that reads the header of a PCX file into a struct that
has a serperate variable for every part of the header.  The only way I
know how to read this would be to do something like this:

char far *temp = (char far *)image->header;

for (index=0; index<128; index++)
  { temp[i] = getc(pcxfile); }

But I can't do that without far pointers.  Someone please tell me
another way to read the header into a struct because I am stumped.
