Hey I recognize that code, it's from "Teach Youself Game Programming in 21 Days" isn't 
it ?


Persevere, it's instructional.

If you get completely stuck then E-mail me and I'll send you a copy of the version of 
blitchar() I've come up with, it does work (fingers crossed for luck) !

Converting from the book, which is 16-bit, microsoft C oriented to 32 bit DJGPP is very 
tricky for a beginner, like me. 

I think I've got most of the stuff to work, except for the keyboard handler which gets 
very awkward because of real/protected mode, I just gave up eventually (though I was 
nearly there) and used someone elses routines I think the file was called mkbdxx.zip or 
similar from the DJ archives.

Also I've not got the sound routines to work, but I can't even get sound from the 
pre-compiled executables (supplied with the book, on CD).
