[comp.sys.dec.micro] Make a VAXmate think it has AT&T graphics

Hi,

  See my previous message about an example of using interrupts in Turbo
Pascal.  I just realized that the subject line might miss people who are
not interested in Turbo Pascal.

  The program mentioned lets the VAXmate emulate an AT&T graphics card.
This allows many more programs to use the 640x400x2 graphics mode in the
VAXmate.  Right now only DEC software recognises it (I think).  My program
lets any program that has an AT&T 640x400x2 graphics driver to
work on the VAXmate.  However, programs which try to autodetect what kind
of system you are using (such as the new MS-KERMIT) will not take advantage
of the hires graphics because it still "detects" a VAXMATE.

  The Turbo Pascal program to do this is in COMP.LANG.PASCAL.  If you want
executables, contact me.  If there are enough requests, I'll post it on the
net.
