A simple problem: I want to underline text on the screen; I know I can do this with "colour" 1 on monochrome cards; I know I can't do it on CGA cards without going into graphics mode; and it looks like it can be done on some VGA cards that can emulate Hercules, etc. What I want to be able to do is underline text in text mode on as many EGA-like and VGA-like systems as possible, so I want to avoid fancy tricks some cards get up to. Any suggestions? Mark Aitchison, Physics, University of Canterbury, New Zealand.
