Hi,

Thanks!  I asked this, 'cause I'm using TC (I have to :( ) for a school prjoect ; I've 
to make a game.  I wish I could use Allegro and DJGPP, but our school doesn't 
have fast systems in the programming department (286, and 3 486).  Sheesh!

Ok, what's the 'definition' fo the term OFFSET!?


Thanks!
Bye!
