DM>Some time ago I wrote a little intro. There were a background (using only
DM>2 colors for "technical" reasons ;)  And there were some BIG letters 
lying
DM>by te screen. There were 3 "sets" of this letterls moving at the same 
ime.
DM>Ones were red, others green and others blue (yes, very typical, i know) 
nd
DM>they intersected betwen them giving yellow in the intersections betwen red
DM>and green letters, cyan when green and blue and so on... I did this by 
using
DM>bitplanes and the correct palete. I also used a hardware scrolling to move
DM>all the screen. Ah! And one note more: I did it in 640x480-16c. ;)
All right... specialized application of graphics features... I'm sure you
could do a more impressive intro in 256c...  However, you've made your point.
