I need help with the PC's screen memory. I am writing a program that needs to be portable amongst PC - clones, and must use standard graphics. (Not EGA etc.)
I gather that writing directly to screen memory is the standard way to do
hi-res on a pc, so i've found the sceen memory (a0000h - b0000h, yes?).
How is the memory configured in the graphics modes or can anyone point me to some good books on the subject.

From a 'wet-behind-the-ears' PC user - Thanks.
