Some quick help will save me some time and be much appreciated. There seems to be some confusion in the literature regarding this mode. I've seen it described as a 16 color mode, a 64 color mode, a 4 or 16 color mode, and a 16 or 64 color mode in various online tech manuals, and my VGA card (Paradse) manuals. In Quick C, the online help calls it a 64 color mode, but the graph.h include file calls it a 4 or 16 color mode. The quick 'C' functions to set colors, and _getvideoconfig seem to treat the mode as a 16 color mode. My questions are: 1) What does a 4 OR 16 color mode mean ? Doesn't 16 include 4 ? 2) Why all the confusion ? 3) Is there a 64 color 640x350 mode or isn't there ? If there is, is there an easy way to access it from Quick 'C' ? 6666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666666 66 66 66 DISCLAIMER: All concepts and opinions expressed herein are the sole 66 66 responsibility of the undernamed.
