'there a way to load a .pcx or .gif type file on the
'screen? any thing would be apreceated. thanx!

'Earl's reply:

'Ken here is a simple example of Bsaving and Bloading Screen 13
'It does not provide for saving the palettes but if you are
'interested in how to do that let me know.

SCREEN 13

CIRCLE(100,100),90,8
PAINT(102,102),14,8
BSAVE"TEST.BIN",0,63999

'As for loading GIFs, if you can find a copy of my program
'VGACLIP.EXE it will allow you to capture any 320*200*256
'graphic screen along with the palettes. It is a TSR. If
'get a copy of it let me know and I'll provide the source
'code to load the captured file back into QB.
