Hello all,

I'm trying to redefine characters using DJGPP. For this I'm using the
code snippet below without success. What is wrong here?

---- code begin ----

/* FONT.C

   This is a port to C from the Assember routine FONT.ASM.

   I did not compile this to make sure but it should run OK.

   If this doesn't run on your system, please let me know and I

   will try to fix it for portability.



   Please report any errors you might find to blunt AT zekes DOT com.

   I use Microsoft C Compiler.  If you use Borland C then don't use

   the *mptr pointer.  Just use OurFont in place of mptr in the FP_SEG

   and FP_OFF functions.
