I have been in quite a crunch lately. 

I normally program in 640x480x16 screen modes, because I love the resolution,
but for a screensaver I'm making, 256 colors become a necesity.

My TC++ v 1.00 (Old, I know, but it works for an amatur like me) didn't come
with a MCGA 256 color driver.

It DID come with CGA.BGI, which is a 4 color driver. NOT and I repeat NOT acceptable.

Is there a MCGA.BGI file out there in the ether? Please tell me so, because 
these psuedoasm routines I wrote to init the graphics and putpixels are not
only slow, but buggy.

          -Ben
