while we are on the limitations of the MSC 5.0 compiler, I am having
trouble with the graphics libraries.  I have  a PC-AT clone (PC's
Limited) , ATI EGA wonder board running in the enhanced mode (EGA,
etc.).  When I do

_setvideomode(_ERESCOLOR)

I get nada as they say in Spanish.  When I do it with

in.h.ah=0;
in.h.al=16;
int86(16,&in,&out);
where in and out are the register unions

it works.  I can't get _floodfill or _lineto to work in EGA modes.
PLEASE tell me someone that the jerks didn't limit these functions to
CGA and lesser modes.  (Yes I have done _setfillmask and _setcolor).

HELP!!

Bob
