I seem to remember (faintly) seeing Graphic view under XP in a DOS Window (on a
Thinkpad T41); but under Win2000, it can't be done -- you need fullscreen VGA.
Speedo fonts have their own unique display mode (like many DOS games), which
requires VGA. I'll check when I get an XP machine on Wednesday... However, I
infer that you have been displaying Graphic mode successfully, in a DOS window,
under XP? We're talking func WZ here, right? Where you see the Speedo fonts?

You make some mysterious (to me) comments, e.g. about deleting and restoring
your XY4 dir -- "that solved it". I've never heard of this problem before, but
clearly, something is delicate. Speedos were never designed to be displayed
this way.
