VMode.C
VMode is an attempt to be as global as possible in detecting monitor types.
The C source code is provided to explain how to detect color and Hercules
graphic cards. While there are monitors on the market not listed in
my code, I have never actually seen anyone use them and hence do not have
a way to test code. If you enhance this code (feel free) and add
additional monitor detection, please let me know so that I can keep VMode
up-to-date.
VMode was compiled with TURBO-C using the Tiny model. Exe2Bin was used to
convert it to a Com file.
