I have only one comment on your last post.
(the NNTP didn't want we to attach it for some abscure reason,
he said that the copied test is bigger than the new test or something)



When I use FlushPage, I can use long transfers. I can even allocate a
614400 bytes long

array, and fill it with zeroes(the most commonly flushed color), and do
a BlankPage

routine, which will copy it using movedata(you said it will be faster,
right?).
but when I need to write a single pixel, or to put some shape(line,
rectangle), on screen, I don't see a way that I could use longs instead
of words, while i'm in 64K modes. Do you?
