It was brought to my attention that the segread function does not exisit in
DJGPP.  I understand that DJGPP uses the _my_cs, _my_ds, and
_my_ss functions for the same purpose as segread but I have no idea how to
implement them.  Does anyone know how to get around this?
My program won't compile because it states that segread is undefined.  Any
help at all would be much appreciated.

        //
        //  Make call to the Btrieve Record Manager.
        //

        rmidb->rm.edx = NULL;
// always at start of segment
        rmidb->rm.ds  = DOSBuffSeg;                                      //
our real mode segment value
        rmidb->rm.sp  = rmidb->rm.ss  = NULL;                     // use
DPMI stack

        regs.w.ax  = 0x300;
        regs.h.bh  = 0;
        regs.h.bl  = BTR_INT;
        regs.w.cx  = NULL;
        regs.x.edi = offsetof(RMIDB,rm);
        segread(&sregs);
        sregs.es   = DOSBuffDes;
        int386x(DPMI,&regs,&regs,&sregs);
        if( regs.x.cflag ) return BTR_ERR;
