`_my_ds' is a function, not a variable!  Your code should read like
so:

	movedata((unsigned)_my_ds(),
		 (unsigned)&my_send,
		 send_info.pm_selector,
		 send_info.pm_offset,
		 sizeof(my_send));

When everything else fails, read the documentation (the libc
reference, in this case).  From the DOS prompt:

		info libc alpha _my_ds [Enter]
