	Hey Guys,

		Years ago when the earth was young (as was I), I had 
	a commodore 64. This system could display 4 colors in 160 by
        200 pixels or 2 colors in 320 by 200 pixels. Two years ago I
        purchased an IBM clone (DTK to be precise) with a monochrome
        screen. Now I wish to purchase either an VGA or SVGA display
        and card. But being rather confused with today's display
        technology, I have decided to turn to the net for the answers 
	to two questions of mine.

		I'm considering buying an SVGA card and screen. But,
	I wish to program these in QuickC 2.5. I've looked it up and 
	QC does not support SVGA. Does anyone know where I can get
	some drivers or libs that would enable me to program up to 
	SVGA resolutions?

		Also, being that I only have $500 to spend on both
	card and screen, should I get higher the quality card (logix
	for $179) or the higher quality screen?  

					Thanks for any help,
			
					J.E.P.
