    Is there any way to get the old16-bit C graphics routine setvideomode to open in a window and not try to open in fullscreen mode?  I am trying to recompile/link a 16-bit Fortran porgram that calls the C routine setvideomode.  The exe runs OK in Windows XP but not in 32-bit Windows 7, I get "This system does not support fullscreen mode.  Choose 'close' to terminate the application."

    Our IT people don't allow us to use XP mode, nor use DOSBOX.  If it is possible, I need a way to get setvideomode to open a window and not try to open in fullscreen mode.
