Is there a BGI driver somewhere that supports some sort of 256 color VGA mode on the IBM PC? I saw a passing reference to it in a book on graphics but it didn't mention from where? Thanks for any information. Jim Binkley jrb@jove.cs.pdx.edu

The driver is available from Borland as a download from their file area in Compuserve. If you don't subscribe to Compuserve, Borland will send you a subscription kit (enough to get the files you want) if you call their number.

Seems like I saw somewhere that there's a file on SIMTEL which has the VGA256 driver, some more fonts, and a font editor. It also had some almost-good docs on how to make a new driver.
