I'm currently using a Video-7 VEGA card with a Samsung CGA monitor.  So, I
can see more colors, but I can't use anything above 640x200x16.  I'd really
like to be able to see 640x350x16 by removing every other line, or some-
thing like that.  Does anyone know how Simcga (the CGA to Hercules utility)
diverts the normal video output to add extra lines?  I'm seriously consider-
ing writing the utility to show HiRes EGA on my monitor.  However, if any-
one knows of a utility to do this, I'd much rather use it than write it
myself.  Sound familiar?
