GO>   What command do you have to enter to activate 256 colors?
   You have to initialize the video mode, or perform direct
   hardware manipulations upon your video card. Naturally, the
   VESA standard is preferable for anything greater than
   320x200x256, unless you are using Windows, in which case it
   is all a moot point, since Windows will handle all that.
   What compiler and OS are you using?
   I have code for Borland for 320x200x256,
   and for VESA modes 640x480x256 and 800x600x256.
