Hi..... This is just a few quick routines I whipped up in about 30 mins.
They are screensavers for a program i'm writing the most interesting one
I think is the 16 color textmode plasma. There is a bug in it somewhere
thats why i've released it, if anyone can find the bug and reupload this
to x2ftp.oulu.fi (on the net) i'd be greatful.

It compiles with Borland C++ 4 and up. and it's in protected mode using
DOS32 by Adam Seychell. This is a net only package and to keep the size
down I didn't include Adam whole library. just the necessary files.
The text.lib is not important it contains many routines but it's only used
to initialise the videotxt pointer to video memory and TMODEX and TMODEY.
Oh and it's also for the mouse routines and etc. the library is pointless
and incomplete to cut down size. The palette is in a binary file called
palette.bin and is extracted in a 30 byte palette and a 242 byte palette in
palette.h using my program call bin2inc (I wrote when i was only 12 years old!)
to make the header file. Use THEDRAW to view the binary file or some editor
like that. The clib.lib is pretty important it's a runtime library of
c routines that are similar to C's runtime library. I don't really care
for compatablity anyhows.....

Anyway the algorithms are ruff and so is the code, theres probably tons of
bugs but I was in a rush to try and do the plasma i'll maybe fix them up later
. Compile it using the batch file c.bat. Send me some email on what you
think.:)

 By the way don't judge me by the way I coded this, it was a quick whip up.
If you fix the bug in the plasma (It overwrites on the way through I think)
send me email and tell me....... The challenge is on...:)



Adam's protected mode library can be found at

It's fantastic! (Thanks Adam)
