EGA's resolution is also lower than Hercules.  EGA is 640x350, while Herc.
is 720x348.  I'm not sure, but I believe 320x200 EGA is really 320x200
CGA, and that the high res. 320x200 modes are either MCGA or VGA.  In
any case, many if not most EGA programs support Herc.  VGA is, IMHO,
still a moving target, unless you *like* 640x480x16.
