  I have a couple of short PC questions.

 1) Is it possible to control a VCR from a PC (or any computer for that
     matter) via an RS232 interface. I thought I recalled a Panasonic
     VCR with such an interface, but can't find the reference.

 2) I need to be able to draw vectors at high speed on a monochrome
    monitor with a Hercules graphics card. Is there some sort of
    graphics co-processor card that will help me with this? Does it
    replace the Hercules card or work in conjunction with it? Also, can
    anyone recommend a graphics software library, callable from Aztec C?

        Thanks for any help you can provide.
