   Help!  Some application interfaces, like XMS and Netware IPX/SPX, are
called with FAR CALLs instead of software interrupts.  This poses no problem
to assembly language programmers, but I'm working in C and I'm pretty
inexperienced at 8086 assembly language.  I need something similar to int86()
and int86x() that will let me load the various registers, do a far call, and
then examine the register contents in Microsoft C 5.0 || Mix Power C.
   Surely I'm not the first to face this problem...
