SIMCGA, SETCGA and SETMONO are all Public Domain!  They do not allow you to
connect a CGA card to a monochrome monitor.  They do allow some programs, which
use CGA graphics, to use the Hercules compatible monochrome graphics.

SIMCGA is the "real" program, the others just switch SIMCGA in and out.  The 
results of running SIMCGA is reasonable for what you are trying to do.

If you want a copy, let me know.  I will either post it or email it you.
