If the DPMI host (DOS extender) you use supports this way of calling the
service interrupts for a function you wanna use, you're able to do this. If
not, allocate a  block of RAM in DOS memory (I don't remember which DPMI
function), then fill it in with data you wanna pass to the function,
simulate realmode interrupt (again some DPMI function).

Good Luck
