If you are using a Paradise card, it's a good idea to stick PEGA EGA into your autoexec to prevent the card from trying to flip into CGA mode (FANSI really won't like it if it does). Also, make sure the /Q flag is OFF (I think you can put /Q0 on the DEVICE= line to force this). Good luck. --- ... Michael Ho, University of Nebraska
