Actually, the Hercules graphics is able to generate graphics. I had to settle for Hercules since I could not afford a color monitor(using a CGA card) back then. So I looked for games, etc. that had a Hercules graphics mode. And, Hercules used twice the amount of pixels then CGA did, so I was able to find emulation software that allowed me to play CGA color games on my Hercules card. It replaced the limited CGA color pallete with patterns on the amber monitor.

Sigh. The good old days...

I do. User Friendly Interface. Hush, don't tell anybody, but I started with Oracle 4 on PC/XT with a huge, 20MB Winchester hard drive. The whole machine has had a Hercules screen card (text only, no graphics) and 512KB (no, it's not a mistake, it really is the letter "K") of memory. I still have those 3 big, grey boxes with 5 5.25" floppies which used to contain the whole installation. Unfortunately, I cannot install it because I no longer have DOS 3.3 which was required for Oracle 4. Oh well, I seem to be getting old.

Holy cow Mladen, what a memory!

Does anybody else remember (or admit to) using UFI?

Jim

...does anybody still remember VAX/VMS, ORACLE$BI, IOR and ODT?...
