VGAPCK06 string display problems...

VGAPCK06 string display problems...

[Paul Van Gorp]

I recently install the ez2load suite with vgapck06, and while everything 
else seems to work ok, when I use the "Write_String" or whatever command from 
in VGA mode, all this unintelligible garb comes up in place of characters, like 
from a different character set.

I mailed the author but have not yet received a response, so was wondering if 
anyone else has experienced similar problems ?

Thanks in advance, Paul

Strange... Are you sure that you are not using text_io or 
displaying uninitialised strings ?

Try the programs in pc_paqs.zip and pc_test.zip archive at:

heh, I wish I was... the weird thing was that it is the demo programs (demo and 
the other one... show something, that i noticed the problems, and then when I 
wrote some small piece of my own code, the same thing occured... tis very 
strange, I'll try those things you requested though, thanks..
