This may be a stupid question but read on. Does anybody know where I can get
a FTP copy of the latest version 5.1? of GWS graphics workshop.

You can snag a copy from SIMTEL20 at:
PD1: <MSDOS.GRAPHICS> GRAFWK51.ZIP

And, while you're at it, also snag the following:
PD1: <MSDOS.GRAPHICS> ALCHMY14.ZIP
PD1: <MSDOS.FILEDOCS> SIMIBM.ARC

ALCHMY14 will also convert graphics files from one format to
another. It's shareware and costs $80. The version available from
SIMTEL 20 is limited to graphics sizes 640x400x256 colors.

SIMIBM.ARC contains the latest index for SIMTEL20.

However, I have a wierd! card -  it's supposed to be standard VGA, 
(it's a VIP VGA - not a Wonder) but many programs, such as ALCHEMY
and Bananaoid think at first it's enhanced, then give me rubbish or
tell me it's not enhanced. It does other perculiar things sometimes too,
but that's a long story. Perhaps it time to get an enhanced card - but
that would also mean a new monitor (I think) I have a Chicony multisync.

Aaaaaaaaaargh! Hardware (two 4-letter words!)

Get a new video card. However, I don't think you need to scrap your
monitor. Just ask if the card is compatible with your monitor. I'm
pretty sure it is.
