Hello, Im trying to write a program for my scanner and would like to utilize
super vga (800x600 256 colors) graphics.  Unfortunately, QuickBasic and QuickC
(languages of choice) dont support this mode.  I presume this is because this
mode is none standard and different graphics cards require different implement-
ations.  I have an ATI vgawonder card with 512k ram, and i know that it can
run this mode sucessfully, several programs run in this mode.  So how do i do
it?  I will primarily be doing bit mapped graphics so circle and line commands
are really unecessary.  Any help would be appreciated.  THanks
