There are two versions of the IMDISP program in this subdirectory:
 1) standard version 5.6 as released by PDS (IMDISP.EXE)
 2) beta version 4.4X (IMDSP44X.EXE) modified from version 4.4 by USGS.

Version 5.6 of the IMDISP program from PDS includes support for
standard VGA graphics mode (640 x 480 x 16 colors) and for the
Orchid Designer display device (with 512 KB. of RAM) in 640 x 480
x 256 colors or 800 x 600 x 256 colors mode.  In order to setup
IMDISP to use these graphics modes you must set a MS-DOS

following MS-DOS commands as appropriate:

256 colors mode.  Version 4.4X is still considered a beta version
