Thank you in advance for whatever help you might be able to lend and for
the patience if this question has already been asked countless previous
times... I do not regularly read this news group.
Help, my new Turbo Pascal compiler influences the selection of .BGI files
that my programs may select with the DetectGraph function. The highest
allowable mode, while running a file from the ALT-R menu, is CGA
640x200 mono with only one video page. If I compile the same program
(without any software modification) using the TPC command and run the
resulting .EXE file directly from the DOS prompt then everything runs
great.
I thought, possibly, that the problem was in my code. To help eliminate
any possible programmer error, I attempted to run the Borland supplied
BGIDEMO.PAS. I observed the same effects.
My compiler is presently set with the following options:
Options\Environment\Startup\Dual_monitor_support Set
Options\Environment\Startup\Graphics_screen_save Set
Options\Environment\Startup\EGAVGA_palette_save Set
Options\Environment\Startup\CGA_snow_check not Set
Options\Environment\Startup\LCD_color_set not Set
Options\Environment\Startup\Use_expanded_memory Set
Options\Environment\Startup\Load_TURBO.TPL Set
Options\Debugger\Display_swapping smart
Options\Debugger\Dubugging integrated
Once again, my thanks to anyone who might be able to help...

The Turbo Pascal documentation states that you are only allowed to use those modes not supported on your primary monitor for the second monitor. You may be running into a conflict of interests. But be warned; I have never tried this and am only guessing. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Bob Beauchaine bobb@vice.ICO.TEK.COM C: The language that combines the power of assembly language with the flexibility of assembly language.
