I give up.  I tried to convert Jiri's VGRAPH.E routines to work in
16-bit and 24-bit modes, but I couldn't.  I have been doing all this
just so I can use virtual pages, and I've done some looking at Neil,
and it suits my needs, at least most of them.

Here are my questions about Neil:

1) I modified image.e --> image2.e, and made it not so dependant on
graphics.e, anyway, I read a 256-color bitmap in with read_bitmap() (I
didn't change that), and I want to know how to convert that into
#RRGGBB for use with set_all_palette() in Neil.  Would the rgb()
function in Win32Lib work, or

colorRed+(256*colorGreen)+(256*256*colorBlue)

work?

2) When I read a bitmap in with load_bitmap(), how do I tell it to set
that to the screen?

3) How do I copy stuff from a virtual screen to the main screen, I
tried incorporating single_copy() from VESA20.E, but I don't know how
to make gfx_mode() set those variables.

4) Does Neil have such a thing as save_image()?

5) Is there anything simpler than Neil that would suit my needs?  My
needs are a virtual screen running library that works in 256-color+
modes.

Thanks,
Mike Hurley
