	I bought a "100% Hercul*s compatible" graphics card for my home-
made clone. Imagine my pleasure when I find that the driver to switch modes
for the flinking thing was not included. I called customer support and
they told me they were sorry, but they only had versions for DOS 2.X, not
3.X  (I don' unnerstand)    
	anyhow, is there anyone out there with a routine (C preferred)
(BASIC second, ASM third) that will let me control the modes on my card ?

I know the thing works fine 'cuz the device drivers for some of my CAD
programs trigger it and it looks nice, but this kind of fiddling on the
edge of hardware/software is beyond me. 

thanks in advance.

mjr.
