Hello All; I have a fairly simple question to ask. I am writing a "C" program for a CGA (Yak ... does anyone use these anymore ???) where I would like to utilize BOTH a text-only mode, and a high resolution graphics mode in the same program. My question is ... is it possible to use both modes and to switch between them with the data on the screen staying intact ??? My guess (without trying it) would be NO. I wouldn't mind using the the Graphics mode only but I will require that certain characters appear in reverse video and that some of them flash. Is there a way to make make the graphics character set (In Turbo "C") flash or appear in reverse video or is there any other way to do it ??? By graphics character set, I mean the characters displayed with settextstyle(???), and outtext(???) !!! Thank You VERY MUCH for your assistance ... W. Tim Dedula Internet: N.A.S.A.
