/*  File   : memset.c
    Author : Richard A. O'Keefe.
    Updated: 25 May 1984
    Defines: memset()

    memset(dst, chr, len)
    fills the memory area dst[0..len-1] with len bytes all equal to chr.
    The result is dst.	See also bfill(), which has no return value and
    puts the last two arguments the other way around.

    Note: the VAX assembly code version can only handle 0 <= len < 2^16.
    It is presented for your interest and amusement.
