Hi there,

My DisplayWrite 4/2 for OS/2 1.0 and up is obviously a text based OS/2
program which runs well in an OS/2 session.
The only funny thing is that when I have my display adapter set to VGA I
can have it display colours and graphics (kinda) but in SVGA mode (with
a cirrus adapter) it thinks it's not a graphics capable adapter that I'm
using...
I was just wondering though whether there was a way to run OS/2 text
programs with them knowing that there is a graphics capable adapter.

Thanks!

Bert
