The error was in the declaration of the pointers.

The statement
	unsigned short far *ppm, *dest ;

is different from
	unsigned short far *ppm ;
	unsigned short far *dest ;

because the keyword (type) is "unsigned short far *", thus the first statement
is evaluated as
	unsigned short far *	ppm
	unsigned short far **	dest

if you want them to be the same, the first line should read as
	unsigned short far *	ppm, dest ;
