                          Monitor control for the PC
 
 
 
 
         When I first got my color monitor I was disappointed that DOS
         didn't support color; later as my eyes started to go I was
         able to develop COLOR which allowed me to set colors in DOS
         and BASIC. Since variety is the spice of life all color
         combinations are available.
 
         When I later got a monochrome monitor and card I was
         disappointed to find that the simple switch type programs
         were almost as big as COLOR and we never around when I
         needed them so support for both monitors was added.
 
         Installation is simple.  Just run VIDEO one time when you
         boot your PC and it will stay resident.  Immediately upon
         executing it will switch to the color monitor (if both
         monitor cards are present) and come up with a default color
         of white letters on a blue background. You can then use the
         following Alt key combinations to use VIDEO:
 
 
         Alt-1 Cycle thru foreground colors
         Alt-2 Cycle thru background colors
         Alt-3 Toggle 80/40 column mode
         Alt-4 Toggle between monitors
 
         I chose these key combinations as they weren't duplicated in
         any applications that I use. I hope they work for you.
 
 
         Depending on the applications VIDEO colors will go away
         during the application and will return when you exit to DOS.
         The Alt keys are always active, so they can be used during an
         application to invoke VIDEO functions, but you might have
         unpredictable results.
 
         The color set and monitor switch will work fine BASIC. Try
         other applications and see how it works, but be prepared for
         some hangups and other unpredictable results.
 
 
         I've tried to test this program as completely as possible on
         my configuration of a PC, a Persyst Bob card with Taxan 440
         monitor and a IBM Monochome card with Amdek 310A monitor. If
         you experience any problems using VIDEO on your configuration
         or run into any problems feel free to drop me a line and I'll
         scratch my head a bit.
