Hello Gwen,

I would suggest Jiri Babor's site to find direct screen writes in text mode.
Jiri also has a fantastic fonts packge for vga thats really fast aswell.

I know the vga fonts come with transparentcy but not sure about
the text mode version although you could get around this with a little
effort. Also, try Putsxy an ROM Font which can be found on Jiri's site.

| Ok,I'll answer to myself : yes it's faster !
| But...I saw put_screen_char() use poke() to write to the screen, do you
| know how to write over an another char ? (like using bk_color(-1) in
| some fonts packages), I don't know how to do that with poke. If I just
| do that :
|
| poke(#B8000, {'A',15})
| poke(#B8000, {'O',4})
|
| The second instruction will erase my white 'A' and put an red 'O' at the
| place. Is there an attribute like "transparent background color" ?
