	Well, I'm only supporting packed-pixel modes, using 8bpp, 16bpp,
and 24bpp, so I'm not affected by that possible bug.  I could probably
get the same information from the vesa routines, but this is easier...
Thanks for pointing that out, though...

	Anyway, hardly anyone has bother to try and help me, so if
someone would like to tell me why my program crashs when I try to access
memory I allocated with the dpmi functions, I'd like to hear their
suggestions.
