	I suggest that you try to use the right syntax for the function
pointers:

  void (*pix_func)(word,word,byte)=NULL;

and then make the assignements like:

  pix_func=pix24;

	About the assembly part, i gave up assembly after i've seen
assembly code build from C++ programs compiled with DJGPP.
	I once made a class "Sprite" that had the hability to draw
a bitmap inside a 4 vertex poligon streched in any way, and compiled
everything with DJGPP. The final code was able to draw about 2000
polygons a second on my 486 AT 80Mhz machine at that time.
