Hi, I'm a newbie at DJGPP, and am trying to figure out how to use
_movedatal
to move 32 bits at a time from one array to another.

The syntax I have shows _movedata(unsigned, unsigned, unsigned,
unsigned, size_t)

unsigned, unsigned, unsigned, unsigned WHAT?????  I kinda thought like
unsigned src seg, unsigned src offset, unsigned dest seg, unsigned dest
offset, but
isn't DJGPP supposd to work without these segment headaches?

I would appreciate an example on how to use this.  I have a large array
set up as follows:

long unsigned storage[1000000];
long unsigned current[20000];

I want to be able to copy 20000 bytes from storage to current..  The
program will
determine where to start copying from in array storage.

Appreciate any help..
thanks!
