- Summary: Everything you always wanted to know about duplex
-
- I have a couple of questions about TSR's and VGA programming.
-
- First, how do TSR's work in MS-DOS? Are they simply large interrupt
- handlers, since DOS can't do true multitasking? How do I make sure that
- it remains resident?
-
- I'm interested in writing a screen saver, and I need to know how to "swap
- out" the current screen, no matter what mode it's in.
-
- Finally, can anyone recommend any good books on VGA/SVGA programming?
-
- Gracias very much...
