LIUYU>It may require **intimate** knowledge for YOU to understand Herc hardware!
LIUYU>I programmed for Herc. It's easier than CGA. So don't tell me I don't know
LIUYU>my stuff!

So go ahead and write the goddamn driver!

LIUYU>As I said before, let's drop this subject. I'm getting too tired of
explaining. LIUYU>Some just don't have open minds to read my point. Others will
talk about some LIUYU>thing that has nothing to do with my point. Just too
tired....

Super. The 'let me have the last word and then recommend that the thread be
dropped' gambit. Highly original - NOT!

Let's talk dollars and sense here for  moment, chum, so listen up.

THERE IS NO MONEY IN SUPPORT FOR HERCULES UNDER OS/2 2.0!

Just like there is no money in support for the Professional Graphics Adapter, or
for the Perstor hard disk controller, or for virtual CP/M sessions.

Folk who do not have the $$$ to invest in current technology are also unlikely
to have the $$$ to promote the development of OS/2 by investing in OS/2
application software. ___
