ABSTRACT:
An adapter for modifying graphics software programs at load time. The invention is a process, which may be part of a hardware or firmware configuration used with a computer system, and which scans the program for selected instructions representing routines to be replaced with a substitute routine. If such an instruction is encountered, the instruction is replaced with an interrupt trap. The substitute graphics routine is located at an address stored at the interrupt trap location.
