Hi, I'm sure I've seen messages on emulating CGA graphics in mono using herculies graphics. Could anyone tell me where I can get a PD version of a program to do this, many thanks Adrian Adrian Joseph ajoseph@uk.ac.ucl

It lets your hercules card emulate a CGA and works fairly well. I've had trouble with it on a DATA XT clone but it seems to work fine on everything else. You can most likely find it on a local BBS w/o any problem. If not (or if you have problems) send me email and I'll email the stuff to you ... Sarb path: ucbvax!ucdavis!spked!sarb

I have them and if anyone can prove they are PD, I can email or post if a lot of interest. I found that some clones with PHOENIX BIOS would not let these programs work correctly (sometimes lost cursor), but when I changed to a GST BIOS they worked fine.

See the README file that comes with the package, it explains various settings and conditions. Also, SETCGA and SETMONO are really *optional* in that once SIMCGA is resident, you need not switch modes unless you *want* to go back to the Herc. graphics mode. Another nice feature of it is when you do set back to MONO (using SETMONO), it will automatically go back into CGA mode (without any intervention) if the program being run calls for CGA graphics. If somebody is to post it, it may be best to include the .DOC (readme) file. I have the complete copy here, and is only 70 lines as a UUENCODED ARCHIVED file. If anyone wants it, I can mail it, unless I'm inundated by requests for such in which case I'll post. Enjoy, --- David M.
