Ok.. but what I'm wondering is if it would be possible to rewrite a game... Let's say Doom, just as an example.. and have that game run without requiring Presentation Manager graphics. (IE: Run through a shell such as TSHELL). In other words, can OS/2 "text mode" sessions take advantage of graphics. --- T.A.G. 2.7c Standard* Origin: The Pharaoh's Tomb (203)264-4935 (1:141/1240) SEEN-BY: 270/101 620/243 711/401 409 410 413 430 808 809 934 955 712/407 515 SEEN-BY: 712/517 628 713/888 800/1 7877/2809 @PATH: 141/1240 1130 1135 3615/50 396/1 270/101 712/515 711/808 809 934 |
