GSMODE is a small utility to get or set the video mode. Since
availabel video modes are dependent upon your video card, such as
MONO, MONO Graphics, CGA, EGA & VGA, we suggest you read any
documentation for your video system prior to attempting to set
the mode via this utility. For your convience, we have included a
list of the more common video modes (below).
With this utility, you can place your system into a graphics mode
prior to displaying a grapics image, or use it to reset the video
system back to the correct mode after executing some games or
appications.
Syntax : GSMODE /Sn
Where : '/Sn' commands GSMODE to set the video mode to 'n', which
is any valid video mode in decimal (NOT HEX).
Defaults: GSMODE returns an errorlevel equal to the current video
mode if no options are selected.
ERRORLEVELS: 255 (0FF) = Program Problem (call Author)
254 (0FE) = invalid option
EXAMPLES:
GSMODE
Simply returns, as an errorlevel, the current video mode.
GSMODE /S3
Sets the video mode to 80x25 COLOR (CGA compatible)
For additional usage and information on using these utilities see
the file SEBFU.DOC or BATUT.DOC.
