	I have recently come to use a machine (AT) that has an IBM professional
graphics adaptor (PGA) installed.  It is set to emulate a CGA for nearly
everything it does.  A couple of applications that they have on this machine
will recognize the PGA, and make use of it (Design CAD).  What I would like,
is some sort of driver/TSR/trick, that would allow more programs to use the
high resolution/multicolor graphics modes that it is apperently capable of
displaying.  I`ve seen programs that allow a Hercules to emulate a CGA (or vv),
and I thought there might be something out there that would do the same for
the PGA; like PGA->EGA for instance.  It is frustrating to see the high
resolution graphics that it can do, and then have to view your WordPerfect
documents in CGA mode. :(
	Perhaps someone could give me some pointers along these lines.  I
would also like to know just what this PGA can do.  Any info would be greatly
appreciated.  Please mail me.

  Thanks,    Craig Johnston          as  johnston@milton.u.washington.edu
