RE: Graphic Displays in MPSP

Mike,

The MAPICS graphic displays require a 5292 Model 2 graphics terminal or a
5292 Model 2 emulator.  Both are pretty hard to come by - the terminals
haven't been made in years and were very expensive when they were new, and
not too many products have tried to do the graphics emulation.  The only
ones I've ever used were the old PC Support for DOS and PC Support for
Extended DOS.  These require huge drivers loaded in CONFIG.SYS, and IBM
8514/A or compatible video cards in the PC.  I heard recently that there
might be a third-party Windows product capable of doing it in Windows, but I
can't remember which one.  BOS (Better On-line Solutions), maybe?  That
information was on one of the public mailing lists within the last 6 weeks,
but I can't remember whether it was Midrange-L, RPG400-L, or maybe even
IGNITE400.  They say memory's the second thing to go, sorry I can't put my
finger on what the first was. <grin>
