I am trying to figure out how to use my EGA color display to work as a grayscale B/W terminal with windows. I asked OnLine, but their answer was: 1) use control.exe to change all the colors to B/W (which is a really silly answer), or 2) re-install the windows specifying an EGA high resolution B/W monitor. Both of the above result in a B/W picture, where the gray shades are crudely emulated, not a true grayscale display. What makes me mad is that I've seen this done before on the very machine I am using, but the guy who did it no longer works here. Any wizards out there? Peter Pavlovcik ...!att!iexist!peter
