Thanks for your help, David but didn't worked or maybe i didn't not
understood your explication.
Put diferentely, what i want is use the assembly instruction MOVS to
move the data in DS:SI (my virtual screen) onto ES:DI (my destiny, the
video memory). If in my C program my virtual screen is, for example,
VS[64000] how i set up  DS, SI to pointer to VS and ES, DI to pointer
to video memory?

main() {

unsigned char VS[64000];
             ....
             ....

       flip(VS) ;
          
             ....

}

void flip(char *buffer) 
{
      .....
/* how to set up DS:SI to pointer to  buffer? */
/* how to set up ES:DI to pointer to video memory? */

MOVW $32000, %%CX 
REP
MOVW

    ...
}

Excuse me my poor english and thanks for your help and
patient.
