  Hello. Can anyone out there tell me how to program the palette on a
Paradise VGA Plus card? It's capable of 262144 colors (15 at a time, of
course), and I'm sick of the 15 colors the IBM uses by default. I'd love to
have, say, 15 shades of red. I have a good knowledge of assembly and DOS/BIOS
programming.
  Also, how do I go about writing directly into the video memory, instead of
having to use the (relatively) slow BIOS putpixel routine? I know where the
memory is, but when I write to it, I can only get black and white.
  Thanks for any help. If you don't want to post any info on the network,
e-mail to me at pthiessen@hmcvax.bitnet or pthiesse@jarthur.claremont.edu
  Thanks again,
       Paul Thiessen
