Hello PC freaks,

I'm looking for a BGI driver for my Super VGA graphics card (512 kB).
The normal drivers you get when you buy Turbo Pascal are only for
a resolution of 640 x 480 colours.

Does anybody know something about how to use the 800 x 600 x 256
colour mode / 1024 x 768 x 16 colour mode ?

This is really an important problem for me since I'm a science student
and have to solve some measurement problems on my PC. For this I would
like to use this high resolutions.

Somebody told me that the 8514 BGI driver might do it but I don't have
one since I'm not able to download it from Borland. I don't have any
experience in programming the 8514 so I don't know whether it works
correctly in combination with my Tseng chips. Maybe someone would send
me the driver if it works?

Please let me know if you have some BGI driver which might solve this
or any tools which allow high resolution programming in Turbo Pascal.

Thanks in advance,
                    Yours          Stephan Joest   (JOEST@DD0RUD81)

P.S.: Please send your e-mail directly to me since I'm not member of
      your list. Thank you very much!
