I wouldn't use the Spectrum as a model -- it had a really weird non-linear frame buffer layout. In fact, none of the 8-bit micros' code would be much help, as they typically had <1 byte per pixel, rather than the more common 1-4 bytes per pixel of modern displays. IIRC, the Amiga also had strange display hardware, so I'd rule that one out as a model as well. :) Hugo. -- === Hugo Mills: [EMAIL PROTECTED] carfax.org.uk | darksatanic.net | lug.org.uk === PGP key: 515C238D from wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net or http://www.carfax.org.uk --- How do you become King?
