Using SETVGA

SETVGA lets you operate your built-in VGA adapter in a
specific emulation mode. This allows you to use programs that
were written especially for other adapters when you cannot run

these programs in regular VGA mode.

Note
Only a few, old software packages require you to use the
SETVGA program.

To lock your VGA interface into an emulation mode, you

include the name of the mode on the SETVGA command line.

The command format is:

SETVGA
