My question is: Has anyone ever written directly to the screen memory with UNIX or XENIX on a PC? I know that I probably open /dev/mem and start writing at the ega address space (after probably massaging the video controller or whatever). The UNIX that I am running is V.3.1 for the 386. Please send mail to me directly. I do not want to get flamed all over the place by people not wanting to hear about this.. thanks Martin Wilde
