Hi everyone, I have my own question, and also the same (almost one as Adriaan), I tried to modify Michael's background image, and even used Paint Shop Pro with I think the same pallette he used. I grabbed an olive green color, and drew a gun up on the hill, and a red to make a kind of flame firing out of it, and then the tank image was all washed out and semi-invisible. But the main reason I am writing, is that I have a trident vesa 1 meg graphics card, and all of the screen modes Euphoria supports, come out as only having one graphics page. You can turn on a virtual page with windows, but it screws everything up as my background (windows) bmp is off center, and when all my groups open they are off of the background when I set the window as freeze. But the main problem is only one graphics page, even with this virtual screen and running under windows it only reads as one no matter what. Which I don't expect such a simplistic solution, and you can't expect dos users to run under windows even with exactly the same card. I suspect that you must access the video memory directly, and if so do all these cards put the memory in exactly the same area? How do I find out. And is Michael's program doing this? Any advice is appreciated, Monty King Sprinfield, Oregon, USA (PS anyone doing anything with sound cards? dll's?) tnx. m
