Hi there,

Yes this is DOS program. Here is the code that is puzzling me:

atom n
n = graphics_mode(18)


    atom r, g, b, height, width, len
    object x, current_color
    sequence vc, colors
    colors = {}


    --Checks what graphics mode is being used.
    vc = video_config()
    --Pass the results to an object.
    x = vc[2]

    --If mode 1, 2, or 3 is being used an error results as they are for
    --text only.
    if x <=3 then
        puts(1, "ERROR! MUST BE IN PIXEL GRAPHICS MODE TO WORK!")
        abort(0)
    else
        width = vc[5]   --Otherwise the width and height of the screen 
is obtained
        height = vc[6]
    end if

    --Here the screen is "scanned" with the color of each pixel being 
stored
    --in a sequence.
    for y_pix = 0 to height do
        for x_pix = 0 to width do
            colors = append(colors, get_pixel({width, height}))
        end for
    end for



Any ideas? The error seems to be produced in graphics.e during a 
machine_proc(). I'm stumped!

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
David S
