Hi folks...

We've got somewhat of a dilemma.  An application we've developed
has been installed in a bunch of locations around the country.  It's
written in Turbo Pascal 7.0, and is a 640x480 16 color graphics 
application, using the EGAVGA.BGI driver for video.  These systems
use this application to pull data off a Novell server (up til now
running IPX and NETX for connectivity)

Recently, the company running this app has been upgrading their
workstations to use VLM's from Novell.  Apparently the version they
are using is from NetManage.  All the machines that have had this upgrade
done to them can n o longer run our app.  When our app starts up,
it says 'Unable to initialize graphics - BGI error' (this is right
at the InitGraph statement).  DetectGraph returns the correct values for
VGA and the mode needed, but InitGraph fails.

I just found Jordan Hargrave's BGI drivers on oak.oakland.edu, and they
look really good.  It is a commercial product, and may help us
out with other problems, but will it also fix this one?  Is
Novell doing something wifty with the VLM drivers that makes it
impossible to go into VGA 640x480x16 mode with the stock (circa
1992) BGI drivers with Pascal 7.0?

Email is best - thanks in advance...
