- I'm trying to implement a smooth double-buffered animation routine on the PC
- using Borland C++ 3.1. I've been experimenting with the setactivepage and
- setvisualpage functions without much success, mainly because, as far as I can
- tell, there isn't any way to flip between screens when the raster reaches
- the bottom (or top) of the screen. Obviously, if the screens switch while
- the raster is somewhere mid-screen, there will be flicker. Can anyone help
- me out with this? Oh, one more thing: This program has to run under DOS
- so I can't use any Windows functions.
-
- Any help would be much appreciated,
