David, why dont you just use a graphics library.
We've discussed this before. There are a number of big advantages:
1) You dont have to re-invent the wheel: it saves you time/effort.
2) Most are 99% ASM it is simple 4 to 5 times *faster*
3) Because it uses ASM it is usually also much more memory efficient.
4) Their interface although not as simple as just a pixel () and get_pixel
() is much more powerfull and effective.
5) Already two libraries provide true-color modes already, and pete's
doesnt' even use banking no more..
Euphoria is simply too slow at SVGA modes, and cant handle true color modes.
And although true color is a bit overdone, you at least want SVGA modes. So,
if you want Dos32lib to look as good as real windows (*look* I said) and
still perform reasonable on a normal pentium, you either have to get your
hands dirty in the ASM or use a library.
