That is, if you have the memory to laoad everything into screen memory.

Question:  As far as I can tell, Wolf3d does not store all of its images
is screen memory (they wouldn't fit...lessee 64x64=4096 bytes, dividing
256k by it...).  OK, the perspective mapping routine is probably written
to map directly to screen memory.  It is an easy conversion on mine...you
just have to change planes.  Is this true?
