Now I'm converting it over to the PC, compiling it with djgpp. I've got code to change to the screen mode I want (640 by 480 in 32 bit) but I can't get the screen address to write too. On the Acorn you just get the screen address and start writing to it. I can't beleive that you need the pages and pages of code I'm told I need. Ploting to screen is simple, how can it be so hard on the PC? There must be a way of getting the screen address, unlocking it from it's protection, and get on with thing. My question is how? How can I get just the screen address and unprotect it for use. Any help would be useful. -- Catch ya later JAB Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know. Learn what you don't.
