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. -- Mark Gorlinsky - AMD Processor Products Division/APPS SQA UUCP: {ucbvax,decwrl,allegra}!amdcad!markg or amdcad!markg@decwrl.dec.com AT&T: (408) 982-7811 DISCLAIMER: What's mine is mine, not my employers.
