Some of the accelerator functions supported include hardware cursors, multi buffering, solid and transparent off-screen bitmaps, rectangle filling, line drawing and polygon filling. ___________________________ And a link to a free implementation: http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/freebe/index.html I think this would be be an interesting framework to have in DOS, maybe it should even be sponsored by Caldera... cheers, Pedro.
