Hello,
I'm trying to compile a list of programs and games that supported this mode.
So far I got
Microsoft Windows
GEM
Compushow
Zsoft PC Paintbrush
Microweb
Earl Weaver Baseball
I'd appreciate new entries to this list, especially games 😀

Hi there! ^^
From what I can remember..
- The Colony
- Psion Chess (1987 version, press "O" key in menu)
- MegaCAD 3.40
- Digi-Tech StarView (uses 1987 att.bgi driver, written in an Borland language)
- MS QuickBasic 4.5 (needs patch for generic hardware)
- Borland Turbo Pascal 4 with Graphix Toolbox
- Borland Turbo C
Edit:
- Geworks Ensemble ? (I'm using v2.0 on an 4,77 XT with CGA and V20)
- AT&T 6300 GWBASIC
- AutoCAD 2.5 or earlier ? (I read v2.53i started to drop older video hardware support)
- DataCAD 2 ? DataCAD Stories
- P-CAD ? (PCB software, 1986, supports strange gfx hardware such as IBM PGC; can load gfx drivers; check v4.5)
- Overhead Express 1.x ? (special version ?)
- PaintShow Plus 2.21

Hi thanks for responding!
For programming languages you listed I guess they have support in their internal graphics libs. I've been using Turbo C since forever and haven't bothered to check the BGI support. Nice that it has it.
Moby has some additional games - Space Battles, Checkers and Connect 4
This Usenet post to comp.sys.att from 1988 mentions several titles; Lotus 1-2-3, GEM, Windows, Pizazz, INSET, Turbo C, Turbo Pascal:

Hope that helps.

https://classicbits.net/coding-and-software/m … ftware/monosol/ has the download and also a photo of it running in mode 40h.
Derive has "AT&T" option - I guess it's the 640 x 400 mode.
