Anyway, the problem is that although this program works, it needs ega, mcga, hercules, or vga graphics capability to display special characters. Thus, before I go out and buy PC-Ditto (again, not the new hardware version, but the software version), I was wondering if anyone knows of any software out there in PC land that will fool a monochrome or cga display into thinking it is EGA (or anything higher)? If so, then I'll get it and try it out with my program and DITTO.IF that works,I'll buyPC-Ditto....otherwise, i.e. if I can't get this program to display the characters properly, I have no reason to be delving into the ms-dos world for now. Thanks in advance for any replies---Gerry maxg@suvm (bitnet) ggreenbe@rodan.acs.syr.edu (internet) PS. I have heard rumors that PC-Ditto II might have ega capabilities, but I'd rather not deal with internal hardware if I can help it.
