what are these numbers represent ???
do you think that there are psychs around here ???

the nearest hit is this:

if (__djgpp_map_physical_memory(void *our_addr, unsigned long
num_bytes, unsigned long phys_addr)
cout << "Failed to map physical addresses!" << endl;

or you can use:

void * MK_FP (unsigned short seg, unsigned short ofs)
{
if ( !(_crt0_startup_flags & _CRT0_FLAG_NEARPTR) )
if (!__djgpp_nearptr_enable ())
return (void *)0;
return (void *) (seg*16 + ofs + __djgpp_conventional_base);
}

from djgpp FAQ by Charles Sandmann.

how can a function returning void return long ???

       int86(0x21, &regs, &regs);

get the djhlp201.zip and READ the documentation!!!
