Program: OKMODE.COM Copyright 1988 by Keith P. Graham
Description: Video Mode selector. Selects or displays video
modes, for use on multiple monitor systems or systems
where mode command will not change modes.
Operation: Enter: OKMODE mode where mode is a number in hex
from 00 to ff. Some common modes are:
0 - 40 column b&w
1 - 40 column cga-mono
2 - 80 column cga-b&w
3 - 80 column cga-color
4 - 320x200 cga color
5 - 320x200 cga b&w
6 - 640x200 cga b&w
7 - monochrome text
f - EGA monchrome graphics
10 - EGA 640x350 16 color
11 - VGA monochrome graphics
12 - VGA 16 color graphics
13 - VGA 256 color Graphics
I am including this with OPTIKS because some systems start up in
mode 7. (Enter OKMODE with no parameters to find current mode).
OPTIKS assumes that mode 7 means you have a mono monitor which
might not be the case. If you start OPTIKS and get a blank screen
leave OPTIKS by pressing F10 and then the Y key. Enter OKMODE 2
and then try OPTIKS again.
OKMODE.COM can be used in place of the MODE command for changing
screen types. OKMODE does not look at the system switches and
takes your word for the mode you would like. It can be used to
switch between 2 monitors, display current mode and to reset
modes on the new multi-function extended ega/vga cards.
If OKMODE does not change the mode, it is the card's bios looking
at switches. Try entering a mode such as EGA mode 10 and then
changing modes from there. My ATI card can only be fooled into
changing to mode 7 if I do it from an EGA or VGA graphics mode.
