IBM VGA 256 Color Cycling Routines Requested:

Does anyone know where I can find an ftp site or whatever of where I can
obtain some coding info on how to do efficient color cycling.  I have some 
of my own but it is wretched.  I use the set palette interrupt to color 
cycle, which has got to be the hardest  way to do it!  IBM VGA should
have a simpler way, shouldn't it?  
	If certain netscum wish to get all uppedy about my posting IBM 
specific stuff here, then please reply to me via e-mail and I will repost
all the results later, say in a week.  I don't antecipate too much 
trouble but if it comes up again, I just want to warn the unsuspecting.

							wReam...

P.S.  Is it my imagination or has this group completely died now that
the people who are IBM specific are being more reserved about what they
post!?

P.P.S.  I would also be interested in carrying on discussions about how
you can use color cycling to achieve different animation techniques.  
Is there anyone out there willing to exchange ideas?
