[ about EGA control problems ]


The things you want to do involve video register manipulation and I don't
feel up to explaining them but, if you want information on how to do this
I would suggest getting a copy of 

        Programmer's Guide to PC & PS/2 Video Systems
        Richard Wilton
        Microsoft Press 1987
        $24.95

I got my copy a B'Dalton's and haven't regretted it.  It covers the mechanics
of how to put dots all over in all the current modes CGA,....,VGA plus some
non-IBM standards, Hercules...   The book has routines in asm which will do
the dot putting so you don't have to write up your own, even comes with a 
disk of them if you want to pay for it, the book also covers various methods
for drawing lines, circles, fill algorithims, and mixing text and graphics.
