Actually, I think you need to allocate the screen on 512 byte boundry.  The
reason for this if the shifter is missing the lower nine bits of it's 
screen base pointer.  (It could be 8 bits and 256 byte boundry)  Anyway
try this.

    unsigned char  screen[32512]; 

    long  scrtemp;
    unsigned char *scrptr; 

    {
      ...
        scrtemp = (long) screen;
        scrtemp &= 0xfffe0000L;
        scrptr = (unsigned char *) scrtemp;
      ...
        Setscreen(scrptr,scrptr,0)  /* set screen to low resolution */
      ...
   } 

   Maybe not 100% correct but I sure it is closer to what you want.
