Well I've run it in DOS as well, as well as fullscreen and it does the same
'trick'.

Haven't tried that - does that allow for coloring though? Does it matter or
does the hardware do it for me?

Well I've put the source code to it on my site here:

http://homepage.dtn.ntl.com/grahamr/src.zip (very descriptive I know).  All
the files required to make and run the prog are there.  It doesn't quite
work yet (not actually that playable) but don't worry about that as it does
what I've programmed so far.  There is also a readme included giving an
overview of the relevant functions. Also the zip is only 5.6k big. It's just
a snapshot of the code at this present moment in time (17:46 02-12-2000).
