- The VGA&HERC utilities are intended for those who have installed both
- a primary VGA monitor and a secondary herc. mono monitor. This is the
- configuration used by MS Codeview for Windows 3.0.
-
- These drivers have been released into the Public Domain.
-
- Here is some usage info. I have determined from corresponding with the
- author and experimenting myself.
- The VGA&HERC.TXT file contains additional info.
-
- This package contains three utilities:
- COLR-DRV.SYS, MONO-DRV.SYS and TOD.COM
-
- The two drivers (.SYS files) allow output redirection to the "other" monitor.
- The author cautions against redirecting to the "current" monitor.
- Example:
- If the VGA is the "current" monitor, you can display the output of DIR
- on the mono. monitor as follows:
- DIR>MONO
-
- Similarly if the mono. monitor is "current"
- DIR>COLOR
- will redirect output of DIR to the VGA.
-
- Note that MODE can switch between the two monitors.
- Ex:
- MODE MONO and MODE CO80
-
- Install COLR-DRV.SYS and MONO-DRV.SYS via device= lines in CONFIG.SYS.
- For example:
- device=c:\colr-drv.sys
- device=c:\mono-drv.sys
-
- TOD is a TSR that displays the time of day in the upper left corner of
- whichever monitor it is started from.
- Example:
- MODE MONO
- TOD
- MODE CO80
- will start TOD on the mono. monitor.
- When I tried the above, the mono. monitor filled with garbage but the TSR
- seemed to install and work correctly and the garbage was removed by CLS.
-
- The .SCR files are DEBUG scripts that will create the above utilities.
- You may need to change the name of the driver to avoid conflicts with
- other utilities. The driver name is specified in the DW line in the .SCR
- files.
-
- Enjoy!
