Subject: Correction - text I/O

Well, I stand corrected.  I want to apologize for the misinformation that
I (regrettably) posted to this mailing list.

It turns out that under DPMI, it is simply not possible for GCC to 
access the video buffer memory using its normal 32-bit addressing.
This is a limitation in DPMI 0.9, *not* in GO32/DJGPP.  Mea culpa.
