Use `memset' instead of `_fmemset'.  

Please note that if you are dealing with code that messes with the
low-level access to VGA, you will need to convert it before it will
work with DJGPP.  See the DJGPP FAQ list (v2/faq210b.zip from the same
place you get DJGPP) for more details.

Also note that Microsoft-style graphics functions are not supported in
the DJGPP library, you will have to write them using the available
functions in libc.a and either libgrx20.a or Allegro (which see).
