I have WordPerfect 5.0 and I cannot get it to do a view document using 1024x768x16 mode. I have an ATI VGAWonder card with 512K. I have an Amazing Multi-sync monitor. WP has built-in drivers, but the one that goes to 1024x768 is for 256 colours. That's 8514/A, I believe. I have drivers for the card, but they are for AutoCAD and other programs. WP is not one of them. Has anyone tried to do this and succeeded? Please help me if you have. And thanks. -- $anjay "lock-on" $ingh ssingh@watserv1.waterloo.edu "A modern-day warrior, mean mean stride, today's Tom Sawyer, mean mean pride." !being!mind!self!cogsci!AI!think!nerve!parallel!cybernetix!chaos!fractal!info!

[...] As a last chance, you may program your own driver. WPCorp sells a manual called "Word Perfect Developers toolkit" for about 100 DM (65 $). It explaines (very brief) all the file formats (Doc., .PRS,.ALL,.WPG) and how to write your own graphics driver (.WPD). Some examples on a floppy are included. You need MASM, LINK and EXE2BIN to do it.
