   As I said, all the original Borland drivers, among them is the   
   EGAVGA.VGA driver.

   A Windows DOS box does not do graphic mode. If a dos box program enters   
   graphic mode, it is always shown full screen.   
      
   I don't know about QEMU or Virtual PC, can they handle graphic mode   
   programs?   
      
   I would be very happy with an emulator that can do this.
