SMODE.EXE - Setting the Video Mode for DOS Applications
SMODE manually sets the display mode and emulation on the DOS plane. You can either enter parameters on the command line, or wait to be prompted. The syntax, entered from DOS is
SMODE ## vga
where ## is any valid BIOS mode number in hex mode and vga is the desired emulation (See table Standard VGA modes in the file BIOS.TXT of the Superdisk or in your SPEA directory). Other possible emulations are EGA, CGA, and MDA.
