Dear People, 

I'm trying to write some EGA graphics software to run under an
operating system which doesn't allow BIOS calls, ie I have to program
the CRTC directly.

To help, I bought a copy of Richard Wilton's "Programmers Guide to PC
& PS/2 Video Systems" (Microsoft Press) - but it seems more concerned
with the BIOS than `direct' programming and so doesn't offer solutions
to the problems I am experiencing.

Can anyone recommend a publication which I can get hold of here in the
UK without many problems, that can help me write EGA software to:
(1) Establish Various Modes
(2) Plot Pixels
(3) Draw Lines
(4) Draw Circle/Ellipse and Region Fill 


..or, can anyone offer constructive advice??

I would be _eternally_ grateful!!

Please EMAIL as I normally don't read this group, and if there is a
good response, I will summarise and post as appropriate.

Thanks in advance!!

Zak Roberts
