Microsoft Windows NT has a "feature" called the hardware abstraction layer that prevents DOS programs from touching the hardware directly. However, DOS programs need to access the video card in order to program it for high-resolution (> VGA) graphics. To use a resolution higher than 320x200, make a Win32 program that uses DirectX. If you're using the Allegro library, simply recompile using the version of Allegro designed for the RSXNTDJ addon or a different GCC port (Allegro mailing list regulars prefer Mingw32). -- Damian Yerrick http://yerricde.tripod.com/ View full sig at http://www.rose-hulman.edu/~yerricde/sig.html Comment on story ideas at http://home1.gte.net/frodo/quickjot.html
