A few quick questions:
(1) There was some discussion a few weeks ago about programming details for
    the trident vga chipset.  If anyone has these details, or knows where I can 
    get them, I'd appreciate mail.  Especially access to extended modes.
(2) Does anyone out there have the CCITT group 3 fax file format spec that
    they could mail to me.  I've seen some programs to decode g3 files, but
    I wanted to see what the actual spec was so I could try it on my own.
(3) Does anyone have any recomendations for c++ on the pc.  Some stuff
    I do at work seems like it would lend itself well to c++, and I was
    considering a port.  Are there any compilers which are suitable for
    production use.  In addition, are there any in-expensive (shareware or
    freeware) compilers I might use to get acquainted with the language.

Thanks in advance for any answers...
