I am running OS/2 V1.2 with a VGA card and monitor. However, when I do DevQueryCaps on the display device I learn that only 16 simultaneous colors are supported. Am I mistaken or does the VGA allow 256 colors? If so, is it the driver that only supports 16 colors? What must you do to get 256 colors in a PM window?
