Question:

Using Quick C and a Tandy 1000TX computer, what video modes are
available?

Response:

There is an on-line example that tests every video mode on your
computer until a video mode cannot be set. The program starts by going
through all the text modes, and then it tests the graphics modes. This
sample program can be found under _setvideomode() on-line help.

The following is a list of video modes that work on Tandy 1000
computers:

   _TEXTBW40
   _TEXTC40
   _TEXTBW80
   _TEXTC80
   _MRES4COLOR
   _MRESNOCOLOR
   _HRESBW
