[comp.lang.fortran] Extended Graphics modes with MS-For v. 5.0

bdb502@anu.oz.au ("Brent D Butler") (06/19/91)

I would like to be able to write a graphical image to my VGA monitor
from inside an MS-Fortran 5.0 program.  The graphics library that is
provided (Graphics.lib), however, only supports EGA, CGA and limited
VGA.  I have a monitor (and graphics memory) that is capable of
1024x768x8bits and would like to be able to write to it in this mode
but I would settle for writing 640x480x8bits.  Have any of you tried
this and if so how did you get around the limitations of GRAPHICS.LIB?

Any help would be much appreciated.
