| 01:17 | <@Alek> | I remember downloading images to floppy disks in the school library, then taking them home to load on my DOS machine. a 640x480 pic took maybe a quarter hour to load and only a part of it was visible, and scrolling through took more load time as well. |
| 01:17 | <@Alek> | had to get a special image viewer program that worked in DOS in the first place, too. |
| 01:17 | <&McMartin> | I've found the documents for actually doing VESA Super VGA in DOS, but I haven't read them or tried to replicate its techniques yet |
| 01:18 | <@Alek> | zooming in or out was out of the question, of course. XD |
| 01:18 | <&McMartin> | I'm not sure if VESA 1.2 even *had* TrueColor |
| 01:19 | <&McMartin> | (Which is kind of a prerequisite for proper rotozoom) |
| 01:19 | <&McMartin> | ...man, I wonder if I still have my old copy of ACiDview |
| 01:28 | <@Alek> | that maaaaay have been the program I used. sounds familiar for sure. |
| 01:29 | <&McMartin> | ISTR that it was for viewing ANSI graphics, though it had a mode where it would try to turn that into VGA. |

| 05:54 | <&McMartin> | This leaves the challenge of actually reverse-engineering this program enough to work out what is actually being plotted |
| 05:56 | <&McMartin> | Oof. Also, I need to reformat it because <pre> does not play nice with < in wordpress's dumb basic theme |
| 06:01 | <&McMartin> | Done. |
