    I am writing a TSR that must be able to pop-up with ANY video
   card. I have not been able to determine the current mode when
   a hercules monochrome card is in use. My TSR has to do the
   following: 1) Determine the current mode.
              2) Save the appropriate video ram & mode
              3) Go to text mode and do your stuff...
              4) Return everything back to original state & exit.

    I need to know two things : How do I know that I am in graphic
   mode on a hercules card, andhow do I know which graphic page is
   active.
                            Thanks in advance ...         Tal
