It will give anyone 16 colors with an EGA (640x350) or VGA (640x480). Note that Windows/386 does not come with a 480-line driver for VGA. It is 450 lines so that DOS apps can be displayed in a window. If you don't care about running DOS apps in a window (they can always be displayed full-screen), hDC Windows Color comes with a 16-color, 480-line VGA driver for Windows/386. It also comes with a nice palette-setting utility. It is available from any Egghead in about a week. Michael Roper hDC Computer Corp.

I bought the last copy that my local Egghead store had last night. I like it. I like it alot. If you run MS Windows, buy it. If you write Windows applications, buy it and make you dialog boxes just like theirs. Imagine, color and graphics inside a dialog box. Great! With 8 years and over 200 programs, this is the second non-game program that impressed me. I only had 20 minutes to spend with the program. In that time I installed it and looked into only 4 of the MicroApps. The font display not only will display the screen fonts, but will also show you the printer fonts. With a hard disk on my PostScript printer, I think that this is great. The memory usage program displays current memory usage with either a pie or bar graph. It also updates itself whenever you load a program. When it is reduced to an icon, the icon shows the amount of free memory. The alarm clock allows you to set up to 3 alarm times. I set two of them to remind my wife to give our daughter her medicine. Finally, I setup the AutoSaver program. Now when we are working in Aldus PageMaker, it will automatically save changes every ten minutes.
