When i try to compile this code below everythin is ok...  only one
warning which says:

D:\DJGPP\prj>gxx test.cpp -o test.exe
test.cpp: In function `void copybuffer()':
test.cpp:23: warning: passing `unsigned char *' to argument 3 of
`dosmemput(cons
t void *, long unsigned int, long unsigned int)' lacks a cast

and when i try to run it i get this error:
