base example programs
---------------------

These example programs are portable across all supported platforms and 
compilers without change. They are simple examples meant to showcase ptc 
features.

rand32 ..... draws random pixels in a virtual 32bit mode
rand16 ..... draws random pixels in a virtual 16bit mode
256color ... draws a color gradient in a virtual 8bit mode
image ...... loads and displays a truecolor image
bitblt ..... demonstrates advanced bitbliting between surfaces
primary .... writes pixels directly to the display memory
modelist ... displays a list of all available modes
profile .... profiles the speed of display updates

for more information about these examples see the documentation

to compile the examples use the batch files provided:

    eg. "wc11 rand32"    (compile rand32.cpp with watcom c++ 11.0)
        "vc5x image"     (compile image.cpp with visual c++ 5.x)

note: the batch files make a debug executable by default. you can gain
significant speed by building a release executable. for more information 
read the remarks in the batch files.
