Hello!

The ATI EGA Wonder Card (BIOS 4.02) does'nt return the correct display
type (MCGA instead of EGA/VGA) on a call to to INT 10h, AH=1Ah. So we got
problem with some programs: 
WordPerfect 5.0 refuses to load the EGA*.FRS softfonts (problem mentioned
in a posting july '88).
The Norton 4.5 NCC Program refuses to set the EGA color palette. 

The following little TSR fixes this problem, it always returns 
BX = 0008h (VGA) on INT 10h, AH=1Ah.

begin 644 egafix.com

end
