I have made several video games before, but none for the IBM PC.  I have a
couple of questions.

1)  Do you recommend 3 or 2 page swapping?  I seem to be leaning towards
3 page for 4 reasons
        1) I don't know how to do 2 page -- does anybody know where some sample
        code for the interrupt handler is?
        2) Background animation will be smoother.
        3) The code would be simpler, wouldn't it?
        4) It should be easier to speed up and slow down.

2) is there any performance hit for C++?

Thank you,
Bryan
