USHORT DosDevIOCtl(ppv, pvAddrInfo, 0x0075, 0x0003, hDevice)
PVOID FAR * ppv;     /* pointer to variable to receive selector:offset */
PVOID pvAddrInfo;    /* pointer to structure with address info         */

The SCR_ALLOCLDTOFF function allocates a logical descriptor table (LDT)
selector and offset for an area of memory.
 
Parameter   Description
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
ppv         Points to the variable that receives the allocated selector and
            offset.
 
pvAddrInfo  Points to the LDTADDRINFO structure that contains the address
            and size of memory for which a selector is requested.
 
hDevice     Identifies the screen device that receives the device-control
            function. This handle must have been created previously by using
            the DosOpen function.
 
Return Value
 
The return value is zero if the function is successful or the error
ERROR_I24_INVALID_PARAMETER if an error occurs.
 
Comments
 
Read/Write access is granted to data areas completely contained in the
address range 0xA0000 through 0xBFFFF. Read-only access is granted to data
areas outside this range, but inside the range 0x00000 through 0xFFFFF.
Attempts to access any address outside this range result in an error.
