Never fit! hehehe  Considering the swap file is 708k!  It loads
in only those images that are needed.  That is ONLY walls and
such, the objects {guards plants lamps dogs etc} are likely to be
bitblt from memory.

Let me get this straight.  You use planes 1 and 2 for fliping
images so that the screen doesn't flicker and 3 and 4 for
storage?  That's cool :) I suspect Keen Duke etc does this only
in EGA 320x200x16.

I think I'll write a "test" program.
