You have not included the header file which declares this function, in 
this case <sys/movedata.h>.  Therefore the compiler assumes that it is a 
function that takes no arguments and returns int, but it isn't. 

As for the undefined reference, that's because dosmemgetb is actually 
spelled _dosmemgetb.
