My screen mode-change function defines a descriptor for the video buffer and
creates variables to store both the descriptor and the address of an off-screen
temporary video buffer.  But when I load it in my asm code, I get 0:0 and the
program is forced to quit.  The off-screen buffer is supposed to be defined on a
per-program basis and, therefore, has to be external to the library.

BTW, How do I change the screen mode without an INT 10h or int86x?
