You have to change graphics modes, which will make your standard C/C++ text functions unusable.

For more information look up LaMothe''s old DOS programming books. But if you want your standard C/C++ text functions, I''m afraid there''s no good way to display a bitmap. (unless it''s ASCII art.)

Back in the day before I sold out I was a DOS programmer. I wrote an entire graphics library to do this. Unfornutatly, it was written for the DJGPP C++ compiler. I may be able to convert some of it for you for free. E-mail me at

d_miracleman@juno.com or
dominque@wam.umd.edu

The only Borland C++ compiler I have is Turbo C++, so I''ll have to write it on that. I use Microsoft Visual C++ now and am working on a large 3D project so it''ll take time for me to write the code if you are interested.
