	Hello.  I posted this message before but didn't check for any 
	replies so I'll post it again(Shorter though).

	I'm in high school and interested in going into the computer Game 
	programming/design field.  What will be the job market like in 
	five years?  Good pay?  What courses do I take in college?  


	Ok, right now, I'm working on a computer game.  It's basically 
	using the same interface of Ultima IV.  What is the fastest way of
	scrolling the map like that?  I'm using 640x350x16 mode and the
	scrolling is working, but it is a bit slow(on a 386!!!).  Something's
	wrong.

	Also, how does one set up a virtual screen and use all the abilities
	of panning in a virtual screen.  And where can I get the library that 
	peole have been talking about(I've been reading all the messages for
	a while).

		Thank you in advance
			Deepak

	ps: Use deepak as subject since this is my dad's account.
