I am trying to interface a Turbo-C application program to a
Vega Deluxe video card. The card is identified by detectgraph()
as an EGA card.

My graphics.h file (and all the documentation that I have from
version 2.0) lists only two graphics_modes for this card:

	0	640x200		16 color
	1	640x350		16 color

However, I've seen Paint running on this machine using the card
in 640x480 16-color mode (yes, I counted the pixels),
so I know the card has that capability.

So the question is: does anyone have an EGAVGA.BGI driver with
one more mode for an EGA card, 640x480 16 color? 
If so, could you send it to me?

Thanks,					Doug
