This is one of those everything you needed to know and more type docs.

Interesting way to get the timer! :) For C users, that would be int *time = 0x046C. See a BIOS data reference for further details.

I'm not exactly bored, but this bit of code is frustrating. I wonder why CL even bothered. There are no technical docs of any sort and the code that is here *REEKS* of bad style. For extra frustration, I unzipped the file which had a self extracting .exe in it, which gave me 4 zips which when each extracted with the -d option finally gives me the SDK.

Really nice intro with some bitplane-mapping (& rotating), vectors, vector-dots, etc. There is such a bug, it supports GUS only at 220 (for other base-ports un-pklite this program and change 0x220 (the only one) in code to your base address).
