I am writing code for a FLI player (to anyone that followed my previous
question, yes, I've fixed it up so it uses 60K instead of 6Mb now :)

They way I am doing it now is to recalculate the FLI frame and store it in a
buffer (64Kb). I then use the instruction (in mode 0x13):

	_movedatal(_my_ds(),(int)fBuffer,VidMemSelector,0,16000L);

Where fBuffer holds the screen to be displayed and VidMemSelector is an
assigned selector to 0xA000.

The code works fine, but it is a little slow. Is there a faster way to do
this (fBuffer is a member of the class and this function is called inside
that class. Maybe I need to align it differently? I know next to nothing on
alignment...)

Thanks in advance,

Brett
