I'm trying to re-write my library file to use DJGPP and to do this
i've had to remove the far pointers. I have a problem with setting a pointer 
to the vga memory.
I've written:

extern unsigned char *video_buffer;   in the header file

and

unsigned char *video_buffer =
	(unsigned char *) (__djgpp_conventional_base + 0xA000000);

in the code file.

It keeps giving me the message:
	initializer element is not constant

Could someone tell me how to sort this, or at least translate the error
message into english for me.

TIA

	James
