I downloaded a copy of WinAllegro a few days ago from Stefan's web site.
I have a problem, I want to load a bitmap into memory using the
'load_bitmap' function. The bitmap is approximately 1000x1000x8bit in
size, and I want to blit small portions of this large bitmap to the
screen. This is possible using Allegro under DOS. I read somewhere that
in Direct X you cant load a bitmap that is greater than the display
resolution that is in use. I this a limitation of WinAllegro ?
If it is, is there any way around this problem.
Gary Smith.
