So far I have not found any hints as to how to re-use video memory from
within the program. What I want to do is use all of the 1 megabye of VRAM
for the introduction to my game, and then re-use it by loading different
TIM's once the game starts.

I havn't noticed anyone having achieved this before in the any demo's, all
the loading always takes place at the beginning via 'dload'

Is it possible for a program to load in new TIM's from the PC while its
running?
