Hello there,

I want to write an assembler function that copies mem using the string
instructions MOVSD & MOVSW. I'd like to use MOVSD to store 2 words a
time. How can I allocate DWORD ALIGNED memory using
__dpmi_allocate_memory? This would be very helpful if one is using a
16bit vesa mode: I hope to double the speed by a factor of 2.

Thanks,
	omar
