I'm really hopeing someone here can help me with this. I want to produce graphics useing C...but I don't want to use someone elses library with jargin that I don't need, I want to know how to do it myself. I know that I need at least the following;

1: A function to access and alocate video memory
2: A function to set the video mode, and display directly
to the screen.

If someone can give me an example of something as simple is displaying a bit map immage into windows (preferably layered over the desktop) i would be very pleased. Keep in mind I DO NOT want to use someone elses library, I want this to do that function and ONLY that fuction.

I'm just REALLY curious to learn this for my self, and possibly develop my own GUI interface.

Any help is appriciated.

Thank you,
Rob
