:-)) I tried not to use it... The problem is very simple, I searched
the code of something as simple as exit() (I think it would be something
with an "int 0x80" at end on i386) but I lose myself between lines and lines
of code :(
Anyway, the demos coded in DOS can use malloc and other libc
functions :) (What am I saying! I would love that people used GGL to code
his demos!!! :-P)

My demo wont be portable, surely :) I know it will have to run on a
Pentium 200, and I have only a week to end it. Haven't time to make it
portable :)

I sow, thanks for the patch. A little but very important question
(to me), how can I wait for the vertical retrace to do panning? As you know,
if I do panning when i want, it will blink a lot, because I can be doing it
while the ray is drawing the screen and then it will draw half a screen of a
video page, and other half of another different video page (very ugly ;).
