Subject:	Optimizing problem
To:	djgpp AT sun DOT soe DOT clarkson DOT edu

I took a big leap today and started to look at doing graphics using
1.12m4. However, my first program ran into problems when I tried
optimizing as mentioned in <sys/farptr>.

The program runs fine when compiled with either tcc or gcc (without any
optimizing). When any of the -O options is used, the screen results
become rather weird...

I tried _farpokeb() instead of _farnspokeb() without any difference.
Knowing a little (is there such a thing ?) 386 assembler I looked at the
generated code, but the optimized code leaves me without a clue.

(note: tabsize is set to 2!)
