I'm trying one of the VGA mem mapping procedures that is in
the FAQ(right out of 18.4).  When I try to get the descriptor
w/  "short vid_mem=__dpmi_segment_to_descriptor(0xA000);"
I get this error - "Intializer is not constant" (paraphrased).

What's happening here?  It's right out of the FAQ(well actually
it was short video, but who cares?).
