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?
