With the help of Bill Currie's selector function snipped out of the fact I'm not having any difficulty accessing text mode VRAM. But I have no idea how it works or why. I'm pretty much at sea with every aspect of text mode. There seem to be tons of tutorials on graphics mode, especially mode 0x13, but they all seem to take text mode for granted. Does anybody know of anything that will take me by the hand through text mode from square one? -- Lars Eighner 700 Hearn #101 Austin TX 78703 eighner AT io DOT com (512) 474-1920 (FAX answers 6th ring) http://www.io.com/%7Eeighner/ bookstore: http://www.io.com/%7Eeighner/bookstore/ A Texas bisexual is a cowboy who likes cattle & sheep.
