I am a V1 user (a satisfied one!) about to upgrade to V2. To ensure I can
still work with old programs that used a call to int 10 to change video
modes I need to know what DPMI gobbledygook I need to replace this with:

void hsetmode (char mode) {
  union REGS regs;
  regs.h.ah=0;
  regs.h.al=mode;
  int86 (0x10, &regs, &regs);
}
