Please help: someone here needs to view 130 columns on the wordprocessing screen at once. She can do it with the right minicomputer and its software, but now she has to do it on a PC. 1. Is this possible, with DOS and the screen memory laid out the way it is? (I doubt it, but maybe.) 2. Is there some screen driver/hardware combination available that will do this? There's a board distributed thru Progressive Micro Dist called Tseng Labs "UltraPAK" (132 col mono graphics, serial, parallel, C/C): will it do the trick? Christine King Intermetrics, Inc.

This is a standard feature of the Victor 9000 computer with its high resolution screen (800 X 400). You have a choice of 25 lines by 80 columns, or 50 lines by 132 columns, and you can switch between them with a key on the keyboard. I doubt whether you can do this with the low resolution of the PC.
