If you don't deal with hardware, far pointers, or interrupts, you'll be
fine. Otherwise, you'll have to do some converting. Far pointers are
accomplished in DJGPP with the _far* functions; look these up in your
libc.a reference. Interrupts are very tricky; the FAQ can give you a lot
of good pointers, though.
