Wrong, Turbo C 1.5 has a graphics driver for Herc, as well as 
CGA, EGA, VGA, PC3270, AT&T 6300, and 8514A.  The graphics demo is quite
impressive even in monochrome.  Turbo C 1.0 didn't have graphics routines
for *any* cards.

}If anyone knows of a package that allows the Hercules card to emulate
}EGA or CGA mode, please send me email.
