I have tried to install anaclock on my 486's VGA machine, and it is not working could anyone tell me why? Or is this program is just only written for CGA? Any chance to get this work in VGA? Thanks in advance. Henry Chung Computer Science Department Trinity College Dublin Dublin internet address :- IN%"hvchung@swift.cs.tcd.ie"

The program must be able to find the graphics driver, and may have to be
told to force CGA mode. You can do this with command-line parameters,
described by this extract from the source:
"syntax: anaclock <-p path-to-driver> <-c> <-d>\n"
" -p <optional> path to find graphics driver in\n"
" -c <optional> force CGA-level graphics\n"
" -d <optional> debug mode\n"
"options must appear in this order.\n";
If the drivers and the program are in the same directory, then you might
try "anaclock -c".
I could only debug anaclock on my own machine, which is an xt clone with CGA.
The graphics definitely assume CGA characteristics; I was hoping that the
EGAVGA driver could put a VGA display into a CGA mode to handle this, but
if it doesn't work I can only say that I don't know anything about VGA.
..oh well. Thanks for trying it.
