Hello out there!  I've just begun to program games, and I have a few
ideas of where I want to start, but first I'd like some information.

Unfortunately, I don't have a extremely strong background in graphics
programming, but I am already well versed in most other aspects of using
a computer for creating applications.  My main language options will be
C and C++, as well a little assembly language programming.

The information I'm after is how to write to VGA (13h mode) memory, and 
possibly how to read/write bitmapped (or other formats) images to disk
and memory.  Even if the information is a pointer to someplace where I
can find some useful info, I'll be happy.  (I am no stranger to
plodding through a text on computers.  If you have any good books
you'd like to recommend, I'm all ears.)

					Thanks,
				Matt Woodard (woodam@aix.rpi.edu)
