I don't do a lot of graphical programming, so I'm unfamiliar with the "Video" unit. "9 Units that come with Free Pascal" "9.1 Standard units" * https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/user/userse47.html#x157-1640009.1 It lists several, including "video": " video Provides basic screen handling in a platform independent way, and supports writing custom drivers. " I don't think this is meant to be "{$mode tp}" [turbo] compatible (which only had "graph" and text mode "crt"). What are they trying to do, SVGA? VESA? Maybe something like Allegro (lib) could help. > > There is > > reference to consolidation of the video functions but no > > references to where the the functions in that unit went. It's probably only used internally by some FPC utils, if even that much. Maybe it has no maintainer or bitrotted, I don't know. But I've never seen it used. _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
