I am looking for a BGI driver for the 640x480x256 color mode on a Headland (V7) video card. If such a driver is available I would also be interested in a code fragment that indicates how to "install" the driver and access the 256 color pallette. Any help on this one would be appreciated. _______________________________________________________________________________ _ , __ Kevin Owen @ Hewlett-Packard ' ) / / ') Sunnyvale, California /-< _ , __o ____ / / , , , _ ____ Phone : (408) 720-3845 / ) </_\/ <__/ / < (__/ (_(_/_</_/ / <_ UN*X Mail ...hplabs!hpccc!kevino _______________________________________________________________________________

I'm sure that changing the code to allow you to access the higher resolution you want won't be too difficult! As for installing it, if you know how to use *any* BGI driver, using this one won't be any different. I don't think there's any way to implement it in already-existing executable code, though. If you don't have access to SIMTEL, let me know & I'll mail you the BGI toolkit; I downloaded it a few days ago and am now plodding through it.
