Page 342 of the "Microsoft C Run-Time Library Reference" manual for
Version 5.00 has an omission. The struct videoconfig declaration
member list leaves out the following four lines: mode, adaptor,
monitor, and memory.

The following is the structure as shown in the manual (incorrect):

struct videoconfig {
  short numxpixels;   /* number of pixels on X axis */
  short numypixels;   /* number of pixels on Y axis */
  short numtextcols;  /* number of text columns available */
  short numtextrows;  /* number of text rows available */
  short numcolors;    /* number of actual colors */
  short bitsperpixel; /* number of bits per pixel */
  short numvideopages;/* number of available video pages */
}

The following is the structure as defined in GRAPH.H (correct):

struct videoconfig {
  short numxpixels;   /* number of pixels on X axis */
  short numypixels;   /* number of pixels on Y axis */
  short numtextcols;  /* number of text columns available */
  short numtextrows;  /* number of text rows available */
  short numcolors;    /* number of actual colors */
  short bitsperpixel; /* number of bits per pixel */
  short numvideopages;/* number of available video pages */
  short mode;         /* current video mode */
  short adapter;      /* active display adapter */
  short monitor;      /* active display monitor */
  short memory;       /* adapter video memory in K bytes */
}
