Created buffer and now just memcopy to the VGA memory.
Way faster!
Simple crazy bars.
Changed to C++ and OpenWatcom for a moment.

Now I know that #OpenWATCOM produces 16-bit #DOS executables that run on the old special Toshiba-MS-DOS 2.0.
However, when I tried to run code using the `_bios_disk()` function to directly read #floppy disk sectors, the buffers were not filled correctly.
I wanted to create an image of the 640 KB boot disk by copying it in smaller pieces onto multiple #IBM 360 KB disks.
Well, looks like I need to do some standard PC tests first.

So, yeah, something is fishy with the OpenWatcom DOS output 😅
Maybe valgrind the Linux binary and check if i accidentally created some memory leak... on the other hand, it looks alright under Linux. 😳
Any ideas by the other retro game devs?

Lesson learned from `DOS-OpenWatcom.cmake` in https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/blob/master/Modules/Platform/DOS-OpenWatcom.cmake
When I set `CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME` to `DOS` and `CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR` to `I86` in #cmake, #OpenWatcom compiles my #c++ sources into real mode 16-bit binaries.
I'm feel like in my 2nd childhood, but now running Windows 10 instead of 3.11.

Next step is to achieve to compile libpng for 16bits dos.
