Hi! I've got this snippet of code that I'm using on a Borland C++ V5 compiler. But I get the error : E2141 Declaration syntax error. Help please! ******************************************** static unsigned char far *servicevec = MK_FP(ROMBIOSIDSEG, (ROMBIOSIDOFF + offsetof(rombiosid, jmp2PublicServices))) ; asm { mov bx,word ptr parmptr[0] mov cx,word ptr parmptr[2] call dword ptr [servicevec] cld } return (((((pfuncshdr far *)parmptr) -> errorCode) != E_PUBSRVCERRNONE) ? -1 : 0); ********************************************

That's 16-bit C code and assembler, and you're using a 32-bit compiler. I you are just asking about the far pointer declarations, just delete the "far" words. With 32-bit pointers, near and far are not used. I cannot guarantee the rest will work, though.

Thanks a lot for your help! I removed the "far" words but still get an error with this MK_FP macro. I know MK_FP builds a far pointer value from a segment and an offset. But now that I don't require to build this far pointer, how do I implement it directly?? This is what I get after compilation!
