Today, I used this version of vuimg on a Hercules Monitor attached to
a Dell 200 PC/AT computer running PC DOS 3.3.  I didn't experience any
problem viewing files in the monochrome mode, nor did I experience any
problems switching from the default VGA setting.  As Steve Calwas
acknowledged, it is possible the monitor failure was coincidental.  I
just wanted to let everyone know the program worked for me.  --Tim
