Recently having jumped ship from Borland C++ I found that my project would
not compile.... well I expected some problems.  Anyway I will have to change
my graphics functions because as I understand it I cant use the:

unsigned char far *screen_ptr = 0xA0000000L;

screen_ptr[x + (y << 6) + (y << 8)] = val;

thing anymore.
    I trawled a bit to find out how it can be done under DJGPP and found
LOTS of ways (including the THIS MAY DESTROY YOUR COMPUTER way) I just
wondered... which way is the fastest and most reliable for use in Mode 13h?

Thanks in advance,
                          Ghalos
