Hello!
<p>I guess this question pops up now and then when newbies join the list,
so here it goes again.
<p>I've seen tutorials where it's stated that "djgpp_conventional_base"
changes across
<br>allocation calls, is it really true?
<p>I have written some VBE2 routines for DJGPP, and they work perfectly,
even though I don&acute;t
<br>(as i've seen others do in their VBE routines)use "djgpp_conventional_base"
as an extra offset
<br>every time i use my mapped graphics pointer. I only use it when I setup
the pointers (in VBE_setMode() ),
<br>and it works fine. Is this due to pure luck? Will I have to change
this statement?
<p>Could somebody please explain why it works, and why it wont work!
<br>I'm using DJGPP2.11 does it differ on this point from previous versions?
<p>Thanks... ...and by the way, the response time on this newsgroup rocks
(as far as I now)!
