I don't have an code, but there are source listings for routines in 
_Programmer's Guide To PC & PS/2_ by Richard Wilton. I have not read it yet, but
he covers mainy topics with source examples for CGA, EGA, VGA, HGC & HGC+, and
InColor Card.

He does say that it is compatible with the HGC and HGC+. It has the same 
resolution (720 x 348) and it displays 16 colors at a time out of a pallette
of 64. Also, he says that it must be used with an EGA compatible monitor.

BTW, book buyers can get a diskette of the example code for $21.95. That seems
like a lot to me. If they packaged the diskette with the book you wouldn't 
think that it would cost that much.

Can you forward the code you get?
