Darrell,

Yup, you're learning all sorts of things along the way, eh?  Keep at it,
you're becoming one of the gfx experts!

I assume that you're only mapping in the buffer ONCE, and then using it until
ready to unmap it, right?

Also, do you have the FSTGRF.AR patch installed? That really speeds up PUTs in
Grfdrv... up to 10 times as fast or more.

For the utmost in speed (but non-portability).. use Ron's VEFIO.AR in Lib 10.
It allows you to snapshot a screen out to disk as a VEF file... or load it back
in. It cheats (going directly to video ram), but the speed is there if you need
it.. for full-screens only, tho.

best - Kev
