You'll still need a way to get them on the screen. Might want to look
for one of those GIF display routines for QB I've heard mentioned.

I don't even know what screen you'd use, though.

IF I'm reading these correctly (I may be wrong)....

11 seems restricted to 2 of 256k colors on-screen at a time?
12 can also do 256k, but still only 16 at a time?
13 can do a bunch more, but only in big blocky graphics?

Screen 11 (VGA or MCGA)
    - 640 x 480 graphics
    - 80 x 30 or 80 x 60 text format, 8 x 16 or 8 x 8 character box
    - Assignment of up to 256K colors to 2 attributes

Screen 12 (VGA)
    - 640 x 480 graphics
    - 80 x 30 or 80 x 60 text format, 8 x 16 or 8 x 8 character box
    - Assignment of up to 256K colors to 16 attributes

Screen 13 (VGA or MCGA)
    - 320 x 200 graphics
    - 40 x 25 text format, 8 x 8 character box
    - Assignment of up to 256K colors to 256 attributes

JW> Mebbie it's a secret plan of Thoth, to keep me text-bound :-)

Text is nice. It's clear, concise, and to the point.
(And you already know how to use it)  :))
