If you look in SIMTEL20 under the directory pd1:<msdos.borland>, you
will find the entire Borland BGI Toolkit for the creation of new
BGI drivers, including a sample BGI driver called
    BGVGA256.ARC
which allows access to 320x200x256.  I'm sure that changing the code
to allow you to access the higher resolution you want won't be too
difficult!

As for installing it, if you know how to use *any* BGI driver, using this
one won't be any different.  I don't think there's any way to implement
it in already-existing executable code, though.

If you don't have access to SIMTEL, let me know & I'll mail you the 
BGI toolkit; I downloaded it a few days ago and am now plodding through
it.  

Hope it helps...
