This is true, but putpixel is suppose to be universal. It automaticly checks
what type of bitmap you are using, (linear vs. mode-x is a major difference) and
if you are drawing off the edge of the picture. This does slow it down a bit,
but if your bitmap were less than 100x100, test2 would probably cause a gpf
(general protection fault).
