Hi,

	I'm working on a VESA 1.2 library.. One of the features of the 1.2
specification requires me to call a function pointed to by a far-pointer with
specific values inside my registers.. Now, up to this point I made us of
__dpmi_int() whenever I wanted to manipulate real-mode interrupts using
DJGPP, but this is totally different.

	How do I:

1) Call this function which is accessible in real-mode (since its pointed to
by a far-pointer)

2) Control what values are in the registers right before I call this
function?

Thank you,

Gili
