Hey,
	How do pointers work in djgpp?  Are they just offsets in the
current ldt descriptor?  If they are, is there anyway to change the
segment you are in( without using dpmi stuff)?  Also if you can change
the segment, I'm assuming you can change from the current ldt to the
gdt.
	Sorry -- one last thing -- is there a way to associate a
segment to a pointer?  It doesn't seem possible since a pointer is
32-bits and a segment and a pointer would be 48-bits, but is there
another way?
