[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Running Text Mode Programs under Graphics Mode

benson@dcdwest.UUCP (Peter Benson) (10/14/89)

We are interested in overlaying a graphics mode window over
top of a text mode program. This implies that the diplay must
be in graphics mode and therefore the text mode program needs
to generate its display in a graphics format.  Is there a
commercial product that patches the BIOS to convert the
text mode  screen output into the appropriate graphics mode
commands so that there is minimal difference between the text
mode presentation and the graphics mode?
