surface, you should use <TT

>Not all surfaces require locking.

surface at any time, and the pixel format of the surface will not change. </P
><P
>No operating system or library calls should be made between lock/unlock
pairs, as critical system locks may be held during this time.</P
><P
>It should be noted, that since SDL 1.1.8 surface locks are recursive. This means that you can lock a surface multiple times, but each lock must have a match unlock.
