I was wondering if anyone could help me with a small problem I have, I have
some code like the following,

  inregs.x.bx = FP_OFF (block);
  sregs.es = FP_SEG (block);

Which compiles fine under Turbo C - this expands to,

  inregs.x.bx = (unsigned)(block);
  sregs.es = (unsigned)(void _seg *)(void far *)(block);

I know that djgpp doesn't have the 'far' keyword, so how can I simulate the
above code?
