According to Brin:

I am trying to use the farptr.h library and the go32.h libaray. [...] To use them I need _dos_ds, which is defined in the C library go32.h but is not a function or a procedure, but is: #define. I tried incluing go32.h but got errors (due to it being a C file I think).

Yes. GNU Pascal does not parse C source. ;-)

How can I import _dos_ds?

Only by re-writing the functionality of the macro (#define), i.e. translating it to Pascal. In this case it is access to a component of a struct (a record in Pascal): Type ByteInt = __byte__ Integer; (* 8 bit signed Integer *) Byte = __unsigned__ ByteInt; (* 8 bit unsigned Integer *) ShortInt = __short__ Integer; (* 16 bit signed Integer *) ShortWord = __unsigned__ ShortInt; (* 16 bit unsigned Integer *) (* Integer = __long__ Integer *) (* 32 bit signed Integer *) Word = __unsigned__ Integer; (* 32 bit unsigned Integer *) Go32InfoBlockRecord = record size_of_this_structure_in_bytes, linear_address_of_primary_screen, linear_address_of_secondary_screen, linear_address_of_transfer_buffer, size_of_transfer_buffer, (* >= 4k *) pid: Word; master_interrupt_controller_base, slave_interrupt_controller_base: Byte; selector_for_linear_memory: ShortWord; linear_address_of_stub_info_structure, linear_address_of_original_psp: Word; run_mode, run_mode_info: ShortWord; end (* Go32InfoBlockRecord *); Var Go32InfoBlock: asmname '_go32_info_block' Go32InfoBlockRecord; Then by typing Go32InfoBlock.selector_for_linear_memory you get the functionality of _dos_ds. Now, of course, you can define it as a macro (*$define _dos_ds Go32InfoBlock.selector_for_linear_memory *) but then the definition is case sensitive. Or: Write a C function which uses the macro, then use that function from Pascal. But that's less effective.
