5.50

MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

Page 60 of the “Getting Started” version 5.50 manual, under the section titled “Hercules GB222 (Ramfonts or Color Support),” incorrectly states that the following display modes are available under DOS:

Ramfont mode (no mouse), 25 lines x 80 characters, 16 colors Ramfont mode (no mouse), 35 lines x 90 characters, 16 colors

The above lines should read:

720 x 348 res, 25 lines x 80 characters, 16 colors 720 x 348 res, 35 lines x 90 characters, 16 colors

Word 5.50 does not support color display with the Hercules GB222 graphics card while running in Ramfont mode (even if a mouse pointing device is not installed in the computer).
