The simplest way to do this involves an enormous array. After M.=>So I want to use memory beyond 640K. Not sure if this'll get to a GENIE user, but... Yes, I've done something like this. The best solution seems to be to write the program so it swaps out sections of the bitmap to disk -- then run it with a big ramdisk set up in extended memory. It might not be as fast as direct addressing, but it'll be portable and easy. OK, *easier* anyway! //\/\/ --- ~ SLMR 1.05 #109 ~ Unpopulated RAM Boards Rule 0k PCRelay:OLEF -> #181 RelayNet (tm) 4.10a15 The Node is OLEF, HUB is HUBOLEF1 in the UK <<<>>> ----- This message came from GEnie via willett through a semi-automated process.
