I just bought a monochrome monitor for my PC, so now I have both the
mono and color hooked up (separate boards).  What I would like
to be able to do is switch between the two of them in my own programs
(either Lattice C or Turbo Pascal).  I know the mode from DOS will
do it, but I havent been able to figure out how to do it.
I tried calling interupt 16, with different modes (1-7) but it
didnt work (maybe I called it wrong).
If anyone can help me, preferably with a small piece of code I could
include, I would be most grateful.
BTW, when switching, I would NOT want the screen to clear.
Thanx much,
