Hello there!

    I am looking for a C graphics driver that allows me to use all 256 colors
simultaneously.  I am currently using Borland C++ with the EGA graphics driver,
and I could only display 16 colors at any one time.  My purpose for the
graphics driver is to be able to display all GIF files with up to 256 colors.
Right now my GIF decoder could only display 16 colors.
  
    Any information would be helpful.  Thank you in advance.

PS: some information on how to write games or how to make multiple images
    move at once; by time sharing or round robin technique.
