#1 I was not "thrashing the bloke." I tried to help him. You
   conveniently omitted my reference to a VGA programming reference book.

#2 I was not talking about VGA text modes. Read my sentence again: the
   word "text" does not appear anywhere in it. Now I admit that I missed
   the reference to text mode in the original post, but that was an
   honest mistake on my part.

Even with this slight blunder, mine was the MOST helpful reply posted so far.
Everyone else has been flaming him for posting an IBM VGA question in this
group. If you are going to flame anyone, it should be *them,* not me.

Redirect followups out of this group, please.
