This converts a 16:16 far pointer to a 32 bit flat address to be usable by 32 bit code. This routine is callable from 16 bit code. The result is returned in eax.

Syntax

ULONG DOSSELTOFLAT(void far* eax)

Parameters

eax (register)
The pointer to be converted (selector=high word, offset=lowword). This argument is not passed on the stack.

Timur Tabi Comments

This are 16-bit and 32-bit conversion functions. They convert pointers in one memory model to another.[1]
