	I know people don't want IBM-graphics questions posted here, but 
	there's no other group to post to right now, so for those of 
	you who want to flame me, sorry :-)

	Anyways...I'm working on a computer game that is like the 
	Ultimas.  I'm using 640x350x16 Enahanced EGA mode.  I have two 
	problems right now:

	1) When I change modes to _ERES16COLOR(quick C 2.5), if I change the
	pallette to suit me, it is different on an EGA and VGA card.  How
	do I fix this problem???  

	2) What is the fastest way to do tile map animation like in
	the ultimas.  I have a two-d array in which each different tile
	has a different number.  When you move, the program checks the tiles
	around you and places the correct tiles at the correct location 
	on the 2nd video page, and then switches pages.  This is smooth,
	but it is VERY slow.  Considering that I have a 386-33...something is
	definetely WRONG!!! Is there a faster way to do this??  Does anyone
	have their own replacement to _putimage that is a lot faster?  

	3) Does anyone have code for loading PCX's that actually works?? I have 
	typed in code from a Lee Adams book and tried some code that I dl'ed.
	Didn't work.  Help?

	I have more then two questions...I'm just going to pour out all the     
	questions I have(I'm 16 so give me a brake :-) );

	4)  How does one access 640x480x256 color mode with QC? If I use
	the BIOS interrupt(forget the number) to change modes, will the
	_getimage and _putimage routines still work?  I can write my own
	pallette changing routines, but I'm not very familliar with 
	that kind of code.  

	5)Can someone explain screen panning to me?? I got the Hobbes ModeX
	library, but I couldn't get it to compile with QC.  If you have any 
	code, I'd be very interested in it.

	6) Any good books on graphics/game programming that would help me
	learn more???

	7) Anyone want to donate a PAS-16?? :-) I tried....

	Thanks in adavance,
