Our long term goal is among other things to get some answers to questions like these: 1) What is a blit ? 2) Exactly what does these different blit =91kinds=92: =93Blit, Clear_bli= t, Mixer_blit, Screen_blit, and Wait_retrace=94. 3) What are =93safe handles=94? 4) What are =93Run Length Encoded=94 sprites? 5) What is a =93sub screen=94? How is a sub screen different from other virtual screens? 6) What are mixing tables for? 7) (Not really Neil related, but still:) What is =93vesa=94 really? How do I know whether I need to use =93force vesa=94 or not?Best Regards, Tor Gausen, Supreme Secretary General and President, TPMFBND
