One solution to make you're EGA into a gray scale display would be to get hDC's 16 color drivers for windows. This would give you 4 gray shades to play with in your colors setup. With their color utility, you can force the entire pallette (spelling?) to be only gray scale. A warning, though: this only changes what you see on the screen (I think) and doesn't affect window's internal color number, so if program X thinks it's putting out the hex value for blue, and hDC Color makes it look like gray, if you dumped it to a printer it would still come out blue (If possible). So if you want gray scale so it matches printer output, you're best off installing as a black&white EGA. -gyug ----- gyugyi@portia.stanford.edu "Actor is my best friend."
