I have a Zenith 158 with and old Hecules board. I'm trying to get turbo basic to draw anything on the screen. I've tried using SCREEN 0-13 with and without HGC FULL & HALF in the autoexec. I can't find anything in the turbo manual specific to hercules. Any help will be greatly appreciated. --- Mike Lang mike@chtm.unm.edu Center for High Technology Materials (505)-277-3317 (x0770) University of New Mexico

You must have version 1.1 to do Hercules graphics. 1.0 doesn't support Hercules. The details of the support for Hercules, EGA, MCGA, and VGA are in the README file. -- Leonard Erickson ...!tektronix!reed!percival!bucket!leonard CIS: [70465,203] "I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools.

TurboBasic 1.0 does not support Hercules graphics. You can get the upgrade to 1.1 from Borland for $15 and it does do Herc graphics (it also fixes a bug or two). Steve Look look@uicsrd.csrd.uiuc.edu
