Hi!

for not being mistaken: I used that bit of code for a standalone com-file,
clears the screen with the colors you set ( just liked having a DOS-Prompt
with my colors...). In C-Progs, the library-functions that come with djgpp
are the right choice I think.

| IMHO, this is *not* a good idea. This is ideal for real mode

| real mode. Some extenders support it, some don't. The best way to do
