If IBM wanted to drop support on low-res video, they should >have drop them all. What's the logic of that statement? Just because neither Hercules nor CGA makes much sense, you seem to think that because they maintain support for CGA, then they should also have supported Hercules? If there are two mistakes, say A and B, if they make mistake B, you say they should have made mistake A too? At least, they pulled support for one obsolete mode. (As for EGA, there are still quite a few apps around that run in EGA mode. I don't know whether that means that drivers are needed. But I dson't think you will find anything around that runs in Hercules and not in some other mode too....) Luc B
