The EGA check does not come back positive on my VGA machine. Is this
expected?

Wow, that’s some ancient Pascal code. Pretty sure it pre-dates
FreeDOS and the Internet.
LOL
It’s been so long. If I recall correctly, it was made with
information in “The Ultimate DOS Programmers Manual”, a really
good EGA/VGA book I no longer have and some info gleamed from HelpPC.
I think some of the check functions no longer work properly on modern
hardware. (To many changes).
But, most of it should still be useful.

I'm doing some graphics programming, and I want to support many
different graphics modes, but I need a way of checking to see if
they
are available. Currently I'm working on VGA. How do I check if it's
available without just trying to enter graphics mode?
