- I have been in quite a crunch lately.
-
- I normally program in 640x480x16 screen modes, because I love the resolution,
- but for a screensaver I'm making, 256 colors become a necesity.
-
- My TC++ v 1.00 (Old, I know, but it works for an amatur like me) didn't come
- with a MCGA 256 color driver.
-
- It DID come with CGA.BGI, which is a 4 color driver. NOT and I repeat NOT acceptable.
-
- Is there a MCGA.BGI file out there in the ether? Please tell me so, because
- these psuedoasm routines I wrote to init the graphics and putpixels are not
- only slow, but buggy.
