Some quick help will save me some time and be much appreciated.
There seems to be some confusion in the literature regarding this
mode. I've seen it described as a 16 color mode, a 64 color mode,
a 4 or 16 color mode, and a 16 or 64 color mode in various online
tech manuals, and my VGA card (Paradse) manuals.
In Quick C, the online help calls it a 64 color mode, but the graph.h
include file calls it a 4 or 16 color mode. The quick 'C' functions
to set colors, and _getvideoconfig seem to treat the mode as a 16 color
mode. My questions are:
1) What does a 4 OR 16 color mode mean ? Doesn't 16 include 4 ?
2) Why all the confusion ?
3) Is there a 64 color 640x350 mode or isn't there ?
If there is, is there an easy way to access it from Quick 'C' ?
