- /FHQ13: Can text and graphics be displayed at the same time with Hercules?/FB

- Yes, as long as 90x43 mode display mode is used. If the graphics bleeds
- through from the background, you can switch to 80x25 mode.

- However, there is no way to detect whether or not the Hercules card is
- currently in text or graphics mode if a program switches between these
- two modes by manipulating the registers of the card. In this case
- DESQview will not notice that the graphics mode has changed. Quarterdeck
- has put a utility DVHERC on the distribution disk that is intended to
- help users switch to the correct mode in such events. DVHERC is a TSR
- program. However DESQview can sometimes be very stubborn and will not
- recognize this change. In such cases it will again switch to the wrong
- mode as soon as one switches to a different window.
