I recieved a number of answers. Most of them were Turbo-pascal routines, directly adressing the memory. Very usefull but.......what if you buy/get a working turbo program with graphics in it, designed for the CGA???? The solution to this problem (and i think the best solution possible) is a resident program called SIMCGA.COM. This program can be executed from your AUTOEXEC.BAT. The next command should be: SETMONO or SETCGA. This program let's you work normally on your hercules, but you have the possibility to act as if you have a CGA in your machine. This is what I understood from the description I got with the program. Unfortunately it *didn't* work on my PC. Today i recieved a new copy (downloaded it from CCUC@UMCVMB.BITNET) and i have to test it. The problem I had was that the cursor was the only remaining thing on my screen. (I believe I recieved the programs from Tom Jones @VLSI.ARPA . I have been trying to reach him a few times; i didn't succeed. The programs SIMCGA.COM SETMONO.COM and SETCGA.COM are as far as I know on SIMTEL20.ARPA. So everybody on ARPAnet can download them. For BITNET users there is a possibility to get these file from CCUC@ UMCVMB Greetings, Bert Stals P.S. Love to see more of these discussions on INFO-PASCAL !!
