[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Help w/ Quick C

priley@ihlpf.ATT.COM (Riley) (08/18/88)

I have an  AT&T PC 6300 w/o any graphics cards. I recently bought Quick C
from MIcrosoft.  I have been trying to get graphics and text simultaneously
on the screen. However, when I do a setvideomode() the only available modes
support text or graphics but not both simultaneously.  When you try and
write text in graphics mode the characters are all double width.  I have seen
lots of programs (including Quick C) which support this.  Does anyone know how
they do this? 

Thanks,
