G'day all I'm writing a small graphics program (on a 386, using Microsoft C (version 5.1) and MASM (version 5.1). What I need to do is the following: Define a sprite image and be able to move it around the screen in some way. I'm intending to use either an EGA or VGA screen. Can anyone give me some tips as to how I should go about doing this (I have had limited exposure to graphics program, but am fairly well versed in other areas). . Thanks in advance Tony .ORIGIN: 302/000 --- PreMail GT Gate v0.91 * Origin: From GTnet via the Black Hole Star Gate! (3:711/1000)

You need to check out INT 0x33 (Mouse supoort). Within it are several subfunctions such as defining a new sprite, turning it on, reading its location, etc. The actual mouse driver moves it around for you (once you turn it on) >. >Thanks in advance >Tony
