If you need to move large buffers, just use the `movedata' library
function.  It already moves by DWORDS, and it does that in assembly.
You can even get its source (in djlsr201.zip, files md.s and djmd.s),
insert it into your program and declare the function __inline__, which
will save the call overhead.
