I've readed the discussion about DOS memory in the FAQ and I've look the sources of GRX2, but the code is too confusing... Other problem: How can I move the string to an accesible memory zone? I've tested with dosmemget, _far* and others, but it doesn't work... What I'm doing wrong? I've found in the FAQ a discussion about speeding up the memory accessing with near pointers, but I don't know how to use it... I think that I should put in DS -1... and then, what? Thank you for helping me....
