DOS GUI development is much appreciated :-) 1. VGA mode 320x200x8bpp (safest and easiest) 2. VGA mode 640x480x4bpp (safest but more painful) 3. Other VGA/ModeX (less safe) 4. Banked VESA (I deprecate it) 5. LFB VESA (needs PM, interesting hack: http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=9738 ) 6. Use FreeBASIC (needs at least 300 MHz ...) 7. Use DUGL (also WATCOM support ??? needs MMX) 8. Native card acces or a new driver model :-)))))))))))))))))))) 9. Use HX and VESA32.DLL or emulated GDI/SDL/OGL (DeLL HeLL) > I have already installed the watcom compiler an I won't help you with C-specific stuff, though. > if it works on all machines, that kind of stuff See above and reveal what machines you want to support and what resolutions you expect. I have no idea about graphics on 8086 PC's, sorry :-( http://www.freebasic.net/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=FaqDOS#item11 http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?p=106203#106203 -- ~~~ wow ~~~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sell apps to millions through the Intel(R) Atom(Tm) Developer Program Be part of this innovative community and reach millions of netbook users worldwide.
