This code looks very familiar. It looks like the code from a program called
readcda. I made a working version of it using djgpp and trust me it requires
a lot of changes to make it work properly. The reason for this is not only
do you need to put structures into real mode memory, but those structures
are also supposed to contain pointers to other structures (also in real mode
memory). Porting this program is not easy, but if you know what you're doing
it's also not that hard. In any case you should reread chap 18 of the faq
(18.2, 18.4 and 18.5 especially) and ask questions about parts of the
explanation that you don't understand.

I can also send you the code of the port I did if you want it, but I think
the learning experience would be good for you.

Hope this helps
