As the title says, I need help with choosing some graphics software.  I
have a 386 machine with a vga card and moniter, unfortunately I bought
the system used from a business which had leased the machine.  The
computer is in excelent condition but I have no manuals to know the
exact hardware specifications.  The best i can figuer from all the
software that I have run is that i have a 320x200x256 Vga card.  I have
tried all diffrent kinds of graphics software from Deluxe paint II
Enhanced to shareware graphics programs that I can find.  The problem is
That none that I have found support 256 colors in 320x200 mode.  Most
support 640x480x256 vga or 320x200x16 vga modes.  I have been able to
use MCGA mode sometimes and get all 256 colors but if a picture is
larger than the boundies of the card than that data is lost permently on
a picture i am trying to edit.  

Does someone out there in computer land know of a program which could
solve my problems, If so send me e-mail.

Thanks in advance!
