Just sorta gettin' my feet wet... and maybe tinker with Delphi. I've
done smooth scrolling in BASIC... will see if I can dig up the source...
likely stashed on one of my HD's sitting in a box... DOS based and
not 'doze based...
It's a matter of setting up a buffer space and then toolin with the CRTC
registers... There's a pretty good outline of the procedure in Ferraro's
book... "Programmer's Guide to the EGA and VGA Cards"... little dated,
but not half a bad book...
