I'm trying to use the _dosmemputl function to move a double buffer into
video memory... this is the code:

void VidShowBuffer (char* inBuffer)
{
 char* screen;
 __djgpp_nearptr_enable();
 screen = 0xa0000 + __djgpp_conventional_base;
 _dosmemputl(inBuffer, (SCREEN_HEIGHT * SCREEN_WIDTH/4), screen);

 __djgpp_nearptr_disable();
}

however, upon compilation, I run into multiple parse errors "before
size_t" in the movedata.h file.  

Also, in the info file... the function prototype is

_dosmemputl([buffer pointer], [number of xfers], [destination address]);

however the example provided seems to call the function in this order:

_dosmemputl([buffer pointer], [destination address], [number of xfers]);

Anyone know what's going on?
