There are no memory models in DJGPP; everything is in 32-bit mode. Other 
compilers refer to this as the "flat" model.

Ick... mouse stuff. You're probably trying to access memory directly, 
something not allowed in protected mode (hence the name). The DJGPP FAQ 
contains information on how to get around such things. I don't do this 
stuff much, but if I recall correctly, __djgpp_nearptr_enable() will 
solve your problems.
