It was probably my fault not mentioning that it was written for the
Turbo C compiler version 1.0.  I assumed everyone knew from previous
postings that it was from a magazine article, and that only thing I did
was put it on my floppy.

You may want to mention this to Larry Fogg yourself, by writing to

I think the Article was pretty good beginning point for people 
to learn about the innards of the Hercules card. I knew as I typed the 
program that I would modify it extensively, if I was going to write a program
using those routines. However, since I had no idea before how the
Hercules board works, I was pretty happy with it as is.

Also, I'd like to clarify that I NEVER type in the actual
article on my PC. I apologize if I didn't make myself clear.
