void mode(int mode){
 union REGS regs;  //__dpmi_regs could have been used here..
 regs.x.ax=mode;
int86(0x10,&regs,&regs);  //and __dpmi_int(,) could have been used
here...
}

I think it's actually safer to use __dpmi_int() but i don't think it
matters in this case..
That will change to the given screen mode..

using __asm__ ();for example this will put colour values into the color
registers to change the colour zero in inline asm.. __asm__
__volatile__("
      movw $0x3c8,%%dx\n
      movb  $0,%%al\n
      outb    %%al,%%dx\n
      inc      %%dx\n
      movb  %0,%%al\n
      outb    %%al,%%dx\n
      movb  %1,%%al\n
      outb    %%al,%%dx\n
      movb  %2,%%al\n
      outb    %%al,%%dx"
      :
      :"g"(red),"g"(grn),"g"(blue)
      :"ax","dx","memory");

damn proportional fonts...
you may have noticed the at&t syntax...
I suppose this probably won't help you much...but still it might so i
posted it...
confused? I think there's a link to a tutor like site on the djggp
site....inverse reality or something..
