faq22 seems inaccurate to me.  RHIDE is only using text modes, AFAICT.  I
haven't trapped the interrupts to confirm, but I'd seriously question why an
application would use special VESA functions for text modes.  That would be
a serious coding offense, if not error, in my book.  DJGPP has text
functions to save and restore screen contents.

Anyway, I have no need for RHIDE, so I'm probably about done trying to help
Ethan here...

You might just want to put an .exe on one of your sites.  No offense
intended to Ethan, but it appears he has very little experience with any of
this...  I noticed it seemed he hadn't tried much of what I suggested
either.
