We tried installing Qpro on the LAN, but we can only install it either as
VGA or EGA. We have both EGA and VGA DOS users, how can we overcome the
problem?

Gosh, thanks for that remarkably insightful posting!  I'll forward ALL of my
DOS questions to you in the future.

You can configure Qpro to autodetect the screentype.
In version 3/4:

/Options/Hardware/Screen/Screen Type --> Auto Detect

Hope this helps,

I'm only familiar with the standard DOS QPro 4.0 (is there a separate
LAN version?), but this should work:  There is a command line switch
that tells QPro which configuration file to use.  Just create a
separate configuration file that specifies EGA and create a batch file
that loads Qpro with that parameter set.  Call it "EQ.BAT" and tell the
EGA users to type "eq" instead of "q".
