         void dldpalloc_dos_buffer(DWORD size) {
             if (dos_segment_buf) {
                 return;
             }
             int z=sizeof(size)/16+(sizeof(size)%16>0)?1:0;
             dos_segment_buf=__dpmi_allocate_dos_memory(z, 
&dos_selector_buf);
             if (dos_segment_buf == -1) {
                 dos_segment_buf=0;
                 return;
             }
             tb_buf=__tb;
 
dap.addressOfTransferBufferInSegOfs.segOfs.segmentPart=tb_buf>>4;
 
dap.addressOfTransferBufferInSegOfs.segOfs.offsetPart=tb_buf&0xf;
         }


does this work for multiple allocs?  or am I deluding myself?
what I am asking about here is the __tb part.  actually, the whole thing.
