I do not own PC-Ditto, and to tell the truth...I'm not interested in
PC-DittoII, but I tried out a program on a friend's PC-Ditto---and it
worked!!(much to my surprise, since this is not a big-time commercial
product).  Anyway, the problem is that although this program works, it
needs ega, mcga, hercules, or vga graphics capability to display special
characters.  Thus, before I go out and buy PC-Ditto (again, not the new
hardware version, but the software version), I was wondering if anyone
knows of any software out there in PC land that will fool a monochrome
or cga display into thinking it is EGA (or anything higher)?  If so,
then I'll get it and try it out with my program and DITTO.IF that
works,I'll buyPC-Ditto....otherwise, i.e. if I can't get this program to
display the characters properly, I have no reason to be delving into the
ms-dos world for now.  Thanks in advance for any replies---Gerry

PS.  I have heard rumors that PC-Ditto II might have ega capabilities,
but I'd rather not deal with internal hardware if I can help it.
