I need some advice on how to create a scrolling screen for a program that
will run in 512k.  I need to create a display that is roughly a 1280x1280
bitmap to scroll around in (the actual display will show 320x200 at a time).
Such a large bitmap cannot be created at all on a 512k machine and just
barely on a 1 meg.  Does anyone know of a technique that would allow one to
create a scrolling display using a small bitmap (emulating a larger one)???
Any help would be appreciated.

Chris
