Again, Hello Netusers! Some time ago I asked a question on the Net: >Hello Netusers! > >Is there someone familiar with a public domain software package >that runs on a video EGA card and simulates CGA? >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? w.r. Johan Taal! What do you mean UNIX brain damage? In the end we all go to /dev/null! -- Johan Taal : TNO - IBBC USENET : jt@tnosel : lange kleiweg 5 UUCP : ..!mcvax!tnosel!jt : 2288 GH Rijswijk : the Netherlands VOICE : +31 15 606376

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. -- Brad Banko Columbus, Ohio (formerly ...!decvax!cwruecmp!ncoast!btb) btb%ncoast@mandrill.cwru.edu "The only thing we have to fear on this planet is man." -- Carl Jung, 1875-1961
