Hello!
I have a question/problem that has been bugging me now for a coupla' days.  
I use MSC 5.0 at work and I was able to write a graphics program that used 
MRES256 mode ( 320x200 ) in 256 color.  At home I use Borland C 3.0 and I am 
completely LOST!  I don't even see that mode listed!  The best I can do is 
VGA w/16 colors!  I tried using the IBM8514 driver, but that dodn't seem to 
do a thing!   _What_ am I missing here!   Also, how would I go about writing 
graphics routines in SVGA?  Do i need a new BGI file?  If so, where can I 
find one?  
I would REALLY appreciate ANY help.  If it's good enough, maybee I'll name 
my firstborn after you.

Thanks!
