The purpose of this program is to decipher the cryptic settings included in the DMQS-Files which accompany the IBM XGA-2 Graphics card and which are used to set  the modes and the operational parameters for the monitors.

   The included modes and their settings may help to get the monitors adjusted for other operating systems like LINUX - or generally get to know *what* kind of settings the monitor allows when being used with the XGA-2 and maybe when being used on other video-cards.

WHAT TO DO ON THE FIRST PAGE ?
Here you can do the following:
- Enter a FILENAME (if you know the name) The filename is not 
                case-sensitive The .DGS extension is added automatically
- Press [D]     to list all *.DGS files (If you don't know the name)
- Press [?]     to enter these help pages
- Press [ENTER] to jump out of the program

WHAT DOES THE FIRST OUTPUT PAGE SHOW ?
File Length     [bytes]  the length of the files obviously
Monitor ID      [hex]    the enclosed ID - in case it had been copied
File Revision   [hex]    the internal revision of the file
Supported Modes [hex]    the number of included modes
Display Type    [hex]    the technical type of display
                0000 = Mono CRT, 0001 = Color CRT
                0002 = Mono LCD, 0003 = Color LCD
                0004 = Mono  Borderless capable
                0005 = Color Borderless capable
                0009 = Color Multisync
Screen Width    [dec]    Measured in Millimeters
Screen Heigth   [dec]    Measured in Millimeters
Some Text, Numbers, Sizes  about the Type / Model of Display
Mode x starts at [hex]   Some information about the Mode-Table

WHAT DOES THE MODE x PAGES SHOW (2) ?
HT  = Hor. Total            = total hor. pixels within a frame
HDE = Hor. Display End      = end pixel of visible area
HBS = Hor. Blanking Start   = end pixel of picture border
HBE = Hor. Blanking End     = start pixel of picture border
HSPS= Hor. Sync Pulse Start = start of the HSYNC within frame
HSPE= Hor. Sync Pulse End   = end of the HYSNC within frame
VT  = Ver. Total            = total vert.pixels within a frame
VDE = Ver. Display End      = end pixel of visible area
VBS = Ver. Blanking Start   = end pixel of picture border
VBE = Ver. Blanking End     = start pixel of picture border
VSPS= Ver. Sync Pulse Start = start of the VSYNC within frame
VSPE= Ver. Sync Pulse End   = end of the VSYNC within frame
PPCR= Prog.Pixel Clock Reg. = the re-calculated value for pixel clock
HSYNC & VSYNC               = polarity of the HSYNC and VSYNC

HOW ARE THESE VALUES RELATED ?

   Many thanks to Peter Wendt for the (blasted ASCII) original. I did a screen capture to put this out.
