Much of Dave's posting hacked away ...

I have been doing some work on an IBM-PC's EGA adaptor that has run me
into this same brick wall, with the slight modification that I have a
choice of up to 16 colors from a palette of 64 ... yes, pretty weak, but
that is the hardware I have to work with; so, if anyone has any
references not only on how to select from the N colors, but also how to
select WHICH n colors, post (or email) them also ...
