[comp.sys.ibm.pc.programmer] Accessing full VGA colour/Grey scale in C preferably

rees@suna.mqcc.mq.oz.au (Rees Griffiths) (06/06/91)

      Could somebody please provide me with some pointers to the
necessary code to access the full 256 colours that VGA has to offer.
Most languages only provide built in support for 16 colours (Turbo C).
  Any books/source code that are available would be most appreciated.

Many thanks in advance
and sorry if this is a FAQ, but I don't normally read this group :-)
