However, microsoft C (the development environment I am using) has a graphics library call _setvideoconfig() that only allows one initialize the "standard" IBM graphics modes - i.e. I have a choice of 640 x 480 x 8 colors or 256 colors in lower resolution, but not the high res 256 color mode that the board suppports. My question is how can I use, or what software do I need in order to use, these enhanced graphics modes from microsoft C. I'll summarize to the net. -- Creon Levit mail stop T045-1 NASA Ames Research Center Moffett Field, California 94035 (415)-604-4403 creon@nas.nasa.gov (Internet)
