_go32_dpmi_simulate_fcall
=========================

Syntax
------

     #include <dpmi.h>
     
     int _go32_dpmi_simulate_fcall(_go32_dpmi_registers *regs);

Description
-----------

DPMI Overview:    

This function simulates a real-mode far call to a function that returns
with a far return.  The registers are set up from REGS, including `CS'
and `IP', which indicate the address of the call.  Any registers the
function modifies are reflected in REGS on return.

If `SS' and `SP' are both zero, a small temporary stack is used when in
real mode.  If not, they are used AS IS.  It's a good idea to use
`memset' to initialize the register structure before using it.

Return Value
------------

Zero on success, nonzero on failure.

Example
-------

     _go32_dpmi_registers r;
     r.x.ax = 47;
     r.x.cs = some_segment;
     r.x.ip = some_offset;
     r.x.ss = r.x.sp = 0;
     _go32_dpmi_simulate_fcall(&r);
     printf("returns %d\n", r.x.ax);
