Okay, this is a problem i ran into not so long ago also!  IT's really a rather
simple solution though.  Use the Go32 routines to allocate a dos memory buffer,
it will return the segment:offset for you.  There's more detailed information
on this subject int he FAQ, but, quite frankly, you can figure out how to use
it properly from the libc.hlp file that you can download. (It's also on the
www.delorie.com site.)

Hope this helps you.
