I wrote a header file made up of pieces of code from a tutorial on
VESA programming. I had a lot of errors at the first compilation, but
I fixed all of them, except the last  line in this piece of code:
....
   short   OffScreenMemSize;
   char    res2[206] PACKED;  
}VBE_ModeInfo;

#pragma pack()

int bytesperline = VBE_ModeInfo.Max_X * VBE_ModeInfo.BitsPerPixel;
....

The compiler (djgpp) displayed: " parse error before 'VBE_ModeInfo' "
as well as for this piece of code:

....
int curbank=0;

void setbank(int bank) {
  __dpmi_regs regs;

  if (bank == curbank) return;
  curbank = bank;
  bank <<= VBE_ModeInfo.WinGranularity;
....

I have no idea what seems to be wrong with this code, so if anyone
does, please help me. Also, if more code is needed to figure it out,
don't hesitate to ask me. Thanks in advance.
