Greets again,
   Since I had no responses to the Mode X question I posted about a week ago,
I'm assuming that there is no modeX currently included in the grx library.
My next questions then are:

How do I go about switching between pages in mode 13? I know I have 4 pages
to play with, but havent seen anything in the grx library reference (terse)
to switch pages.

I understand that you cannot utilize more that 256k of the video memory for
mode 13.  Is there ANY way at all to utilize the remaining 768k to have
faster (more complex) animations?  Im assuming, if there IS a way to make use
of the remaining 768k, then instead of just 4 pages, you could have 16 pages...
Im assuming the vga hardware is the limitation here, otherwise it really doesnt
make much sense.

Kevin
