Does anyone have any code (C is preferred) that can determine
on a VGA or MCGA adapter the type of monitor attached?  Microsoft
C 6.0a has an function that is suppose to but apparently can't tell
the difference between an MONO or COLOR screen.  The function is
_getvideoconfig and it seem to work in all cases except the VGA and
MCGA.  I called Microsoft and was told that "well must be a bug".  Any
help would be appreciated.
