It uses the bios for its moves but should be easily ported | for direct memory access, it looks like it would be perfect for minix. +--------------- This is on my "to-do" list. However, the closest you're going to get to direct memory access is to use /dev/mem (or, alternatively, create a /dev/screen driver), which I consider gross. I'll go for terminfo and ability to use it on serial ports with terminals. -- Brandon S.
