Does anyone have experience using the Microsoft C graphics library with the Hercules Graphics Adaptor. The functions work -- after loading msherc.com -- but there is no documentation in the 5.1 manual. Is it possible to compile code which does not need this msherc.com ? Any suggestion is appreciated.

Any suggestion is appreciated. There was a graphics library called HGRAPH.LIB which was posted to comp.binaries.ibm.pc recently. It is a complete replacement graphics library to allow programming the Hercules Graphics Card without using the MSHERC program. I have played around with it and have found it very easy to use. A small program that was written in Turbo-C was easily converted over to Microsoft C using the HGRAPH library and I was impressed. The size of the executable file was about 14K compared with 42K for Turbo-C (This is Turbo-C v1.5), and the execution speed was basically identical. You may want to try to get a copy of this package. -- Erik Talvola | "It's just what we need... a colossal negative talvola@cory.berkeley.edu | space wedgie of great power coming right at us c164-2bf@bard.berkeley.edu | at warp speed." -- Star Drek
