My experience with the PCjr has been that most packages which require a CGA (color graphics adapter) will work on the PCjr with no problems. I say most because there are some packages which write directly to screen memory and bypass DOS's handling of screen I/O. Since the PCjr's memory is arranged differently than the rest of the PC family, this does present a problem. I know that screen drivers exist for some packages (eg. Lotus Ver. 2) and can only suggest you check with the manufacturer if one of your packages does not work. Sharif Abdallah (Student : Carnegie Mellon , Mail to TA0E@Andrew)
