the point is that the current state of dosemu's hercules emulation is more
or less a 'proof of concept'. At the time I implemented it I had just one
application and I stopped when I got it working.
The problematic part is, I guess, to get the applications to _detect_ the
hercules mode.
If you feel adventurous, src/env/video/hercemu.c is the way to go.
That mono text mode is not working properly, is strange. It used to work
at some point in the past, however. :-/
