NAME

staribm - display astronomical star charts on IBM PC.  

SYNOPSIS

Arguments as in other starchart programs, with the special argument -a:
-a [ VRES16COLOR VRES2COLOR ERESCOLOR ERESNOCOLOR HRES16COLOR HRESBW MRES16COLOR MRES4COLOR MRESNOCOLOR ]
 

DESCRIPTION

See starchart(1) for details on the starchart programs in general.

The -a option allows the specification of a display mode to use. Normally the driver picks the highest resolution display which will work, but if you specify a mode it will try to use that instead.  

BUGS

The driver gets its font from the built in font in the BIOS ROM. On PCs which are not totally standard, the font may not be located at the same magic address, so characters will display as gibberish.
