hello Girls and Guys of DJGPP

I didnt give up from searching the code for getting the linear framebuffer =
VESA VBE for my game to run normally fast under DOSBox, with music included=
. (my version of Super Mario Bros)
But the one who hasn=B4t the link broken to the page with the code, does ha=
ve it but destroyed, the fourth fragment preceding the second, etc:-
I supose I could reintegrate and debug this one from 2 web pages, and final=
ly the DOSBox didnt throw any exception or page fault but i could not see a=
 pixel on the screen. Either the VBE_linear_mapping() succeeded with return=
 0, that is no error message; I dont know weather the mismatch is on the vi=
deo mode setting or in the arg 0x112 passed to VBE_getModeInfo()
I'll thank all my life that/those ones who clear this heavy situation to me=
, retouching or fixing this, then i'll be able to run normally and with bet=
ter colors my Mario Bros (i love him and Sonic and Tails and Knuckles) ... =
and with music that under W doesnt work .... I tried Allegro, but didn t ge=
t a word, plus the direct way (VGA Access, logical and math reasoning, etc)=
 is very easier for me ... I just use the play_midi() function and related =
ones
Nevertheless I got my program much better since when I sent it to Rugxulo, =
i optimized the speed a little by reducind CPU procesor time, and improve t=
he graphics ... i supose it could be quit good with this following code wor=
king fine ; Thank you very much---
Rugxulo, may I send the game to you again? it s a bit faster and better now
