 Hiya

 I've written a 3D thing on my dear old StrongARM RPC. Now I'm
converting it over to the PC, compiling it with djgpp. I've got code to
change to the screen mode I want (640 by 480 in 32 bit) but I can't get
the screen address to write too. On the Acorn you just get the screen
address and start writing to it. I can't beleive that you need the
pages and pages of code I'm told I need. Ploting to screen is simple,
how can it be so hard on the PC? There must be a way of getting the
screen address, unlocking it from it's protection, and get on with
thing. My question is how? How can I get just the screen address and
unprotect it for use.

 Any help would be useful.
