   Specifically I would like to have a 16-bit assembler   
   program that does a far call to xxx and xxx has been   
   implemented as 32-bit code to obtain 5 MB of memory   
   and do a complex calculation before returning to the   
   16-bit caller.   
      
   I need some additional MSDOS calls for 5 MB of memory   
   to be obtained. And a compiler that will generate appropriate   
   code.
