[comp.sys.ibm.pc] EGACGA simulator...

Again, Hello Netusers!

Some time ago I asked a question on the Net:

>If you do, please send it to me?! 

I know it sounds ridiculous but there is more to it!
I own an EVA vidoe card (VGA compatible) and a NEC multi sync
plus monitor that operates on a frequency of 21.8--45 kHz (sync freq).
So the problem is not the video card but the monitor!
The monitor can't handle CGA output.
I know that if I use programs with CGA output I should
not have bought this monitor but the NEC multi sync II who
has a diferent frequency range.
This is where the question comes in. I try to find a program
that covert CGA output to EGA output without any extra hardware.
Maybe there is someone who can help me?

i use a pc at with a nec multi-sync monitor and some card which displays
cga or ega graphics depending on what my software supports.  this is 
especially good since there are some things you can't easily do with 
ega graphics that you can do with cga graphics (like printscreen), and it
make perfect sense for an ega card to support cga as well...
i've taken it for granted.
