Question is, what is the fastest way to copy the bitmaps to the screen? They characters are in variable size arrays (i.e. variable number of bytes per row and rows per character). At the present I am using CreateBitmap on each single character, using Bitblt, and then junking the Windows Bitmap object. Ugh! Actually on my 20 MHz 286 it is not too slow - maybe 1.8 sec per page. But on a 6Mhz AT............ snooooooze time. Is there a faster way? Doug McDonald (mcdonald@aries.scs.uiuc.edu or mcdonald@uxe.cso.uiuc.edu)
