- I have a very simple question (the answer to which I have been
- unable to find in my very badly organized manuals).
-
- I want, at the start of an app, to be able to determine the
- video mode in which windows is running. Specifically I
- want to know if it is a 16 or 256 (or 32K) color mode so
- that I can use one of several bitmaps for the intro screen.
-
- I have been unable to find the proper call, and I'm sure someone
- out there can answer this very simply.
-
- Thanks!
