1. Convert DOS addres to WINDOWS protected mode address

Hi programmers.

 I'm trying to convert DOS address to WINDOWS address in protected mode.
I got the following routine and it should do the job, but while running it
yells for error (in the line marked in arrow). The routine was originaly
written for MS/C, and I'm trying to make it work under BC++ 3.0.

1. Can anybody help me to make this routine work under BC++ 3.0 ?
2. If not, dose anybody know how to convert DOS addres (segment+offset) to
   WINDOWS protected mode addres ?
3. Could someone point me to some documentation on SetSelectorBase() and
   SetSelectorLimit() functions ?

Thanks

  Oded.

The routine in question:
==============================================================================
HANDLE PASCAL AllocateSelector(unsigned segment, unsigned offset, DWORD length)
{                                              
    DWORD physicalAddress, linearAddress;       /* This function allocs & maps */
    HANDLE selector;                            /* a protected mode selector */
    struct SREGS sregs;                         /* for a real mode address */

    segread(&sregs);                            /* Copy DS selector */

    if ((selector = AllocSelector(sregs.ds)))   /* Successful Allocate? */
    {                                           /* Phys = Lin In 1st Megabyte */
        linearAddress = physicalAddress = ((DWORD) segment << 4L) + offset;
--->    SetSelectorBase(selector, linearAddress);  /* Set New Base Address */
        SetSelectorLimit(selector, length);     /* Set New Segment Range */
    }
    return(selector);
