If the images are in the main memory, you have to use the CPU to first transfer them to video memory. If they are in the video memory, you can use the accelerator functions of the SVGA chip to move the blocks around. Each chip is programmed differently, so there's no compatible way of doing it. For more information check out the VGADOC4 collection. http://www.datashopper.dk/~finth is the URL of the VGADOC homepage. On the other hand, if you just want to scroll the screen up/down/left/right (one direction at a time), check out the VGA Tutorials at ftp://x2ftp.oulu.fi/pub/msdos/programming/ for Mode-X scrolling. --- * Origin: By myself but not alone...

The lastest version is 53 I believe and there are about 7 archives labeled A-G. o Try searching the internet for the list, it's available for FTP from the simtel mirrors I believe. No, I don't know the address, but you can use a search engine to find, right? Try searching for INTER53 or RALF BROWN or whatever. o Lastly you can try Ralf Brown's WWW homepage located at the following address: http://www.cs.cmu.edu:8001/afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/ralf/pub/WWW/ralf-home.html This is from an older version, 47, so I can't guarantee that it's still valid. Speaking of 47, you might want to search for INTWIN47.ZIP which is a compiled Windows help file version. * OLX 2.1 TD * Press "+" to see another tagline. --- Maximus/2 3.01 * Origin: Frog Hollow Port Moody BC 604-469-0264/0284 (1:153/290)
