Although Hercules cards are supported by many graphing packages and terminal emulators, neither Microsoft C nor Turbo C have predefined graphics routines for this card. I understand that VGA/EGA/CGA are the standards for the PC, however there are many Hercules cards out there. If anyone knows of a package that allows the Hercules card to emulate EGA or CGA mode, please send me email. If such a package does not exist, or if it is easier to simply access the display routines directly that would be fine also. Any information on this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance...

Perhaps you have only looked at Turbo C 1.0. The 1.5 update for Turbo C has an extensive set of graphics routines for the hercules card, as well as CGA, EGA, VGA, AT&T 400-line Graphics Adapter, and 3270 Graphics Adapter. - Rod
