Hey all, I'm not sure if this has already been asked/answered, but here goes.
I'm a djgpp newbie (a total newbie to protected mode programming).  My
question is this, is there any way to dump a value (x) into (n) contiguous
memory locations starting at a given address (a).  I know memset(a, x, n)
will do this, but memset() doesn't allow me to access protected space (like
video RAM and such).  I've been trying to check Brennan's page, but it's been
down all weekend.

If anyone can send me the function name, I can probably figure out the rest,
but I would appreciate a snippet of example code, if it's not a problem.

Basically, what I need is the memset() equivalent that can access protected
space, or a way to unprotect that space, write to it, and protect it again.

Thanks again...
