  hi, does anyone know how Allegro deal with the virtual screen 
  memory alloctaion?

  I have declared a screen of resolution 320x200 with 320x400 virtual
  screen, but when I executed the following funcion, it just return a
  mass of junk! ( this can be tested with Allegro example 2 )

  void move_block() {
    unsigned long waddress, raddress;
    _farsetsel(screen->seg);
    raddress = bmp_read_line(screen, now_y);
    waddress = bmp_write_line(screen, 0);    
    movedata(screen->seg, raddress, screen->seg, waddress, SCREEN_W*SCREEN_H);
  }

  I guess the problem is in my memory calculation, but I can't find the
  right way doing this. Any help would be highly appreciated!
