   Hi,   
     I have some more questions about loading directly into vga
video memory.
 
     Someone posted that one correct method might be:

         ifstream in("PICTURE.RAW");
         unsigned char (far *)VideoMem[320][200];
         (unsigned char far*)VideoMem = 0xA00000000L;
         for (int x = 0; x < 320; x++) {
            for (int y = 0; y < 200; y++) {
            in >> (*VideoMem)[x][y];
                  or
            in.get((*VideoMem)[x][y]);

     This doesn't seem to work at all.  Could someone provide
     some advice?  Thanx
                               Corey
