Monitor Type Detection Utility Copyright (c) 1990, Edward M Grabowski
SYNTAX: VidMode [ ? ]
This program returns the DOS errorlevel corresponding to the monitor type
detected for your current graphics adapter card.

This program was created to solve a problem with multiple monitors on a LAN
and Microsoft Word 5.0. It was used in a batch file to test for the monitor
type so that the appropriate SCREEN.VID file would be loaded for the current
workstation configuration.
I hope you find it useful.
