OK, I deserve it. I bought an AT clone with an EGA (actual brand name?) card that uses a "CHIPS" VLSI set. The [funny] manual talks about some software tha is supposed to switch between EGA, CGA monochrome, Hercules graphics emulation. The (nice and cooperative) vendor does not know anything about it. Any help? Another Item, Where are the ANSI mode escape sequences for this card and PC-DOS 3.20 documented? I want to be able to change character color and other video attributes. The card respondes correctly to some VT-100 codes but not all, and no color. Any Idea? If there is enough interest I will compile the results and re-post them. Simon

IBM placed the ANSI documentation in its pricey Technical reference manual, but most 'good' books on the IBM have a page or two discussing the ANSI driver. I believe the Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA) documentation can be found in the Tech Ref. also... +=============================================================================+ | Lonnie VanZandt University of Illinois Dept. of CS (217) 333-1925 | | | | arpa vanzandt@p.cs.uiuc.edu vanzandt@uiuc.ARPA | | csnet vanzandt@uiuc.csnet | | usenet ihnp4!uiucdcs!vanzandt | +=============================================================================+
