like im a newbie to c++ and ive been trying to make a proggie to plot
pixels in MCGA mode..
i have been looking for ages for info on changing display modes and
plotting pixels
but all i can find is source for borland compilers (whereas i have vis
c++ 6)

i was wonderin if annyone knew anny good places with
tutorials/information on changing dos video modes
and if there was a header file included with Visual C++ that did it
either

as a side note
is it possible to make a pointer to a known memory address
ie- making a pointer to the 0xA000 address (start of vga memory) of
size unsigned char
(so it could be used with the memory.h function memset() )
and if so
what would the proper syntax be

thanx

A 16 bit program can still do it on 9x. NT will appear to allow some low
level shenanigans but onlty because its DOS emulator does the right thing.

In any event, if you really need this kind of access to the display you
might want to check out DirectX or OpenGL . This is not a good forum to
discuss those two topics, though.
