25 /* FUNCTION
26 Use the blitter for clearing a block of Chip-Ram.
28 INPUTS
29 memBlock - pointer to beginning of memory to be cleared
30 flags - set bit 0 to force function to wait until
31 the blitter - if used - is done
32 set bit 1 for row/bytesperrow - mode
33 bytecount - if bit 1 is set to 1: bytecount contains an even number
34 of bytes to clear
35 if bit 1 is set to 0: low 16 bits are taken as number of
36 bytes per row and upper 16 bits
37 are taken as number of rows.
39 RESULT
40 A cleared block of Chip-Ram.
42 NOTES
43 THIS FUNCTION IS DEPRECATED except if you want to simply clear
44 some memory.
