Am I correct in remembering that these are the modes for accessing video cards that Fractint uses and that not all current graphics cards implement these modes completely? Or have I 'misremembered myself' (as they said in Watergate)? - Hal Lane (Fellow Windows 98 user) ######################### # hallane@earthlink.net <mailto:hallane@earthlink.net> # #########################

I have not tried any of these. If anyone does try, say, Fractint under DOSBox, (dosbox.sourceforge.net) please let us know how it works out.
DOSBox says it uses the vesa modes and runs under Windows XP. If this can be used so that you can color cycle and use the color map editor for 1600x1200 images under XP, this would be great. I'm still using Windows 98 and won't go to XP until I can do EVERYTHING in XP that I can do under DOS.
