In the Microsoft C 5.10 Optimizing Compiler Run-Time Library, the
function _getvideoconfig does not make a distinction between an analog
color monitor and an analog monochrome monitor. For both of these
configurations, it puts the value _ANALOG in the "monitor" field of
the struct "videoconfig." _ANALOG is a manifest constant defined in
the include file GRAPH.H to be 0x0018.

The function _getvideoconfig is enhanced in QuickC Version 2.00 so
that it recognizes analog monitors as being color or monochrome.
There are two additional manifest constants defined in the new
GRAPH.H: _ANALOGCOLOR (defined to be 0x0010) and _ANALOGMONO
(0x0008).
