I guess this question pops up now and then when newbies join the list, so here it goes again.

I've seen tutorials where it's stated that "djgpp_conventional_base" changes across
allocation calls, is it really true?

I have written some VBE2 routines for DJGPP, and they work perfectly, even though I don´t
(as i've seen others do in their VBE routines)use "djgpp_conventional_base" as an extra offset
every time i use my mapped graphics pointer. I only use it when I setup the pointers (in VBE_setMode() ),
and it works fine. Is this due to pure luck? Will I have to change this statement?

Could somebody please explain why it works, and why it wont work!
I'm using DJGPP2.11 does it differ on this point from previous versions?

Thanks... ...and by the way, the response time on this newsgroup rocks (as far as I now)!
