> very good idea ... if *you* implement these things

As you might know / suspect, I can't compile HX by now, and have some troubles to understand the coding syntax/style

I can provide a "patch" copying from a linear parallel buffer into the VGA planes - but doesn't connect to the OGL/DRDRAW/GDI stuff - if it helps

Sure. I won't code them in VB.NET

Please think about it. It doesn't have to be in HX 2.13 ... but I still think it would be a big improvement ... maybe justifying version 3.0

COOL. Full "text GUI" support would be the preferred solution ...
