The "Microsoft BASIC 7.0: Language Reference" manual for Microsoft
BASIC PDS Versions 7.00 and 7.10 incorrectly documents SCREEN modes 3
and 4. Page 311 incorrectly states that SCREEN mode 3 supports
Olivetti or AT&T Adapter Boards and that SCREEN mode 4 supports
Hercules graphics capabilities.
This information applies to Microsoft BASIC Professional Development
System (PDS) versions 7.00 and 7.10 for MS-DOS.
The correct entries under the SCREEN statement for SCREEN modes 3 and
4 are included in the QBX.EXE Microsoft Advisor online Help system and
appear as follows:
SCREEN 3: Hercules adapter required, monochrome monitor only
- 720 x 348 graphics
- 80 x 25 text format, 9 x 14 character box
- 2 screen pages (1 only if a second display adapter is installed)
- PALETTE statement not supported
SCREEN 4:
- Supports Olivetti (R) Personal Computers models M24, M240, M28,
M280, M380, M380/C, M380/T and AT&T (R) Personal Computers 6300
series
- 640 x 400 graphics
- 80 x 25 text format, 8 x 16 character box
- 1 of 16 colors assigned as the foreground color (selected by
the COLOR statement); background is fixed at black
