You have to use this. You have no other choice. Anyway, I don't understand why
you need to do such a thing. What prevents you from using far pointers? As
far as DPMI is concerned, you can't avoid that. It's always there, at least,
as long as your program is executing.

You shouldn't use int386. It's *not* for calling normal (real mode) interrupts.
Are you talking of a 16-bit source code that can give you this info?
