Hi,
I've written a PCX viewer in Mode 13H, in TC++, and in that, I use memset() to
clear the screen (eg. memset((BYTE *)Screen,64000,0);), and I also use 
memcpy() in another program (a game), for double buffering.  

So, now I want to port the program to DJGPP, and following the tutorial from 
the DJGPP Book Project on Graphics Programming, I converted my PutPixel() 
and Mode() (set's Video mode), so it won't cause all GPFs!

However,  memset() kept causing the GPFs.  How do I clear the screen
very fast, in C/DJGPP (No ASSEMBLY)?  The tutorial says that something like 
dosmemput() is slow.

Please help!

Bye!
