Hello Allegro programmers!

I wanted to write a 640 x 480 x 256 horizontal scrolling program, like
the ex19.c demo. I increased the screen bitmap size and changed the
other screen size variables accordingly.  However, I found that
*everything* on the screen was scrolled, including the text line.

Is it possible to scroll only *part* of the screen while in an SVGA
mode, e.g., a 640 x 400 window?  I noticed that ex19.c uses a mode X
modex_split type function.  Does this mean that the split screen
text/scrolling only exists in mode X?  Is there a version of
scroll_screen() that scrolls only part of the screen, or a BITMAP
buffer?

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Jonathon.
