The BLOAD and BSAVE statements in QBasic can be used to save and load data to and from the video buffer. In most modes, including 320x200 mode with 256 colors, this works. However, I have discovered that in 640x480, 16 color mode it does not exactly work right. Whenever I BLOAD a colour image into the buffer, I get a black and white image on the screen. Could this be a bug in QBasic (I am using V4.5 .....I think), or is the image encoded differently in the video buffer in this mode? Any e-mail relating to this problem would be appreciated.
