I wrote a program that displays a map in a box and lets you walk around. I
was looking around and found an example on Dual Playfields on the lattice C
distribution disks..(the example is by Gregg Williams and it opens its own
view instead of going through a screen)

I liked the demo program so I decided to try to make my map scroll usin the
technique. Well, needless to say, it didn't work like it should. It seemed
to work to a degree while I still had the view.Mode = dualpf + pfba...
BUT my program uses HIRES | LACE mode so I added that to the view structure
and it didn't make a bit of difference, SO then I made the same changes in
the viewport.Mode and it did make a difference. My screen would turn black 
when I run the program and didn't work at all. (no display at least) and then
when I exit it crashes the oldview which was saved. Is there something I am
not doing that I should be doing? I have no idea how to do this, so I am going
by the example Gregg wrote..but it doesn't seem to work for HIRES | LACE?
Could it be a lack of memory for dual playfields in hires | LACE mode?
