Erv,
If you get an answer in a private email, please pass it on to the list! I'd
like to be able to run some ham radio programs under dosemu, and they
use some of the graphic mode calls to build their display. I don't have
the source for any of these, so can't identify the particular function in
use, but some of it does display properly in VGA mode. One thing that
I do see happen is once one of these offensive programs is run, and then
exited, the cursor disappears until I kill that dos box and start it up again.
One of them goes into some sort of hi-graphic mode, that doesn't function
at all (displays a map of the world, with sun and moon position and track).
These programs are widely used in the EME community (Earth-Moon-Earth)
and no corresponding functionality is availabe directly under Linux.
