[comp.sys.ibm.pc] User defined characters

hole@tolsun.oulu.fi (Jari K{hk|nen) (10/28/89)

   Hi folks, I have a little problem...I need information about user defined
characters, ie. I want to make some new characters for my program. I have
paradise VGA and characters are there(ROM), right? 
   I'm programming C and using graphics is too slow, because I need to scroll
characters. So, what I really need is a good explanation, how can I do my
own characters, how to redirect interrupts and what do I have to do to get
those characters to screen? The best possible help is  little C source code 
example...anybody got one?

   Thanks in advance...Jari K{hk|nen, Hole@tolsun.oulu.fi

See Kent Porter, Stretching Turbo Pascal. The ideas there are
applicable to C as well.
