VP/ix is not an acid test for compatibility. Someone at the SCO Forum '89
remarked that setcolor(c) was the "Flight Simulator of Xenix" to test for
EGA/VGA compatibility, and everyone in the audience chuckled. Try to get
your hands on one of the "VGA Register Compatibility Test" diskettes that
are floating around. The one I have is from Paradise.
