I recently tried to use CodeView's EGA 43-line with an IBM Monochrome 
Display and discovered a bug.  It appears that CodeView is determining
the display type and assuming that Monochrome Display == Monochrome
Adapter.  (See the program CIRCLE.C that is supplied with CodeView as
a demo and you will see that CIRCLE.C makes this assumption also).  The
symptom is that the screen isn't cleared, but the cursor is put at the
right position on the screen.  Nothing that you type is echoed to the
screen, and I suspect that it is being echoed to the Monochrome Adapter
which is of course not there.

I spoke to Microsoft Technical Support [sic] and I was told that they
were aware of such a bug, and that the version of CodeView released 
with the latest Microsoft Fortran compiler solves this bug, but since
I'm not a DIAL subscriber, she (Technical Support person) wasn't sure
if she could send it to me.
