The manifest constant _ERESCOLOR is incorrectly shown as providing 64
colors on Page 539 of the "Microsoft C Optimizing Compiler Version
5.10 Run-Time Library Reference" manual, Page 539 of the "Microsoft
QuickC Run-time Library Reference" manual, and Page 197 of the
"Microsoft QuickC Version 2.00 Graphics Library Reference" manual.
According to the "Programmer's Guide to PC & PS/2 Video Systems," Page
448, and the "MS-DOS Encyclopedia," Page 1513, the correct number of
colors in 640 x 350 EGA is 16 colors. The include file graph.h
correctly shows 16 colors.
