Video Snow.
If you use README on CGA video systems, it will produce video
snow. This is because of a contention problem between the bus
(program) and the refresh hardware on the CGA card. EGA, VGA,
MDA and Hercules video cards do NOT have the 'snow' problem.
Because the software products produced by Nucleus Inc. require
EGA or VGA video systems, the CGA 'snow' checking code was
removed from the few text mode programs that we distribute.
Assembly language procedures to do 'snow' free video output
will be included (but not used) in math flashcard program called
MATH.EXE (with Turbo 'C' and Turbo Assembler source code). In
March 1990, I will distribute the MATH program and source.
