Hello!
I have a problem that has been nagging me for awhile, and I was wondering if 
anyone on the net can help?

How do I create VGA graphics in Borland C 3.0?  In Microsoft C 5.0 ( what I 
use at work ), there is a mode called MRES256, which allows me to display 
graphics in 256 colors.  I have been all over the Borland manuals and 
on-line help and am STILL clueless!  The best I can do in BC3.0 is VGA in 16 
colors!  What am I missing?!?!?

Also, what do I have to do to create SVGA graphics?  Do I need a new BGI 
file or do I need to program the video card directly?

Any help would be __GREATLY__ appreciated!
Please Please Please help me!
