Subject: Far procedure call

        Hi all,

        How can I call the procedure from another segment?
There are functions _farpeek/_farpoke to access data from 
another segment but I can't find something like this 
for long far call.

        For example these calls are neccessary to 
communicate with PnP BIOS (the PnP BIOS provides header
with 16-bit protected mode base segment (4 bytes) and 
offsset (2 bytes) of the function the user have to call
to get resources allocation information). IS IT POSSIBLE
TO EXECUTE SUCH CALL FROM THE DJGPP ENVIRONMENT ?

Thanks
