I have two small problems, lets have a look somebody can solve this

1. I have to FAR-Call a real-mode address in dos-memory-area with a 
pointer to something on the stack. Its hard to say ... 

coded in b**land c this is:

far function_to_be_called(char _ss *a)
{ ... }

(I know, this makes absolutly no sence, but I have really to do this, 
because I can`t change the handler)  

only the segment is passed, the stack must be set and there must be a 
structure pointed to by "a"

Maybe "__dpmi_simulate_far_call_stack" could do this, but I failed.

2. I have a Simens Nixdorf PCD4NL Laptop, 486DX66/2 and uclock seems to 
fail. The values I get from the each uclock()-calls are permutating up 
and down, with tendence to grow (I guess the "bios_ticks" are counted ok, 
but the timer3 is counting still-by-2?).

Please, send me a copy directly, too, there are so many mails in this 
list, wow :-)

thanks
Andreas
