ISHERCULES()
Determines if a HERCULES card is present or can be emulated
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
ISHERCULES([<lMode>]) --> lHERCULES
Important! Contains <lMode>, an additional optional parameter over
and above the original CA-Clipper Tools.
Argument
<lMode> When designated as .T., determines if a HERCULES card is
present. The default value .F. tests to see if a Herculess adapter can
be emulated.
Returns
In conjunction with the <lMode> parameter, ISHERCULES() returns a .T.
when a HERCULES card is present or a HERCULES adapter can be emulated.
Description
This function determines two things. When <lMode> is designated as
.F., or the function is called without parameter, ISHERCULES()
determines if a HERCULES adapter can be emulated. This could be the
case with a VGA or EGA card. When <lMode> is .T., it determines if
there is a HERCULES card present.
Notes
. GETMODE() determines the active mode.
Warning! Although our function implies it, not all EGA and VGA
cards can emulate HERCULES. In most cases, a HERCULES emulation on a
VGA card is possible , but it cannot be determined with absolute
certainty. As long as the text is output under CA-Clipper, working with
ISMONO() should be sufficient
