HERCULES Version 1.00
Copyright (C) Peter E. King, 1987
Requirements: Hercules or Mono-graphics card with graphics
paging capability (64K bytes RAM). Your computer should be
hardware and software (BIOS) compatible with the IBM-PC. The
program works by redirecting the video interrupt (INT 10H) and
the timer interrupt (INT 8H) and installing a new video parameter
list (INT 1DH). The program maps the 640x200 CGA screen into the
720x340 hercules screen, thus providing a smaller display area -
This is normal!
WARNING:
Not all programs will be compatible with HERCULES, try to test
them one at a time, particularly other memory resident programs.
This program will, however, allow many CGA programs such as PC-
PAINT, PRINTMASTER, FIGHT SIMULATOR (minus the Esc screen) and
many PUBLIC DOMAIN programs to execute without any noticeable
difference.
