well, you set the mode with:

      ASM MOV AX, 12h; INT 10h; END;

and then draw a pixel with: }

PROCEDURE plot_640x480x16(x, y : WORD; c : BYTE); ASSEMBLER;
ASM
  {$IFDEF DPMI}
  MOV ES, SEGA000
  {$ELSE}
  MOV AX, $A000
  MOV ES, AX
  {$ENDIF}
  MOV DI, x
  MOV CX, DI
  SHR DI, 3
  MOV AX, 80
  MUL y
  ADD DI, AX
  AND CL, $07
  MOV AH, $80
  SHR AH, CL
  MOV AL, $08
  MOV DX, $03CE
  OUT DX, AX
  MOV AL, c
  MOV AH, [ES:DI]
  MOV [ES:DI], AL
END;


{ and read a pixel with: }
