There was a recent posting about problems running CGA programs on an EGA. I
have a program which sets the CGA mode using *software*, and then allows
continued running of DOS or boot into another OS or game. It will run many
CGA programs which will not work using the CGA switch settings. If the
original poster will send me a path I will mail it. If enough people ask I
will post it to net.sources, along with the program to revery to EGA mode,
and an "enter 43 line mode" program.

Quad has a great EGA screen saver which I would post, but it doesn't appear
to be public domain.
