I'm not an OS/2 programmer, nor do I play one on TV. I did do a fair
bit of OS/2 work a year or so ago, but that was for a product for 1.0.
Here's the question:
I've got someone here who has a program written in AVA - allegedly a
REXX-like offering from IBM for multi-media work. This program doesn't
use PM. All of it's output is graphical, and it runs on VGAs and 8514s.
This program calls a C DLL to do a lot of the grunt work. If an input
error is found by the C code, the programmer wants to switch the display
to text mode and output a simple message.
How, under 1.2, does he simply change the display adapter from a graphics
mode to text mode?
