First of all, thanks for responding.   I received some really good
suggestions, of which the above was the cleanest.   Unfortunately, the
IBM version of Xenix does not have a symbol _dscralloc(), while the
SCO version does.   Does anybody know if there is an equivalent
function in the IBM version of Xenix, or do I need to use John
Little's method of hacking a (hopefully) unused entry in the GDT?

When this is over and I have made a driver for IBM Xenix and SCO
Xenix, I will post a summary of how I did it...   For now, I am going
to hack the GDT...
