Hi... just a question regarding access to the xtended ibm ASCII char set
through the bios

i am using the 

_farpeekb (_dos_ds, rom_char_set + offset)

where rom_char_set = char *ffa6e


now I am in graphics mode 105h and I am trying to display text to the
user. Because this is a course and the prof wants us to display a
"fancy" border, I was just wondering how I would access the xtended IBM
char set because I can only get the 1st 128 characters to properly
display and when I access the rest beyond the 128 I just get junk pixel
maps...

i realize that this is probably because that the xtended char set maybe
elsewhere... but I don't know where... if anyone would help me out
regarding this matter it would be greatly appreciated...

thank you

oh btw, if at all possible please respond via email

thank you
