[net.micro.atari] text for ST

ed@gargoyle.UUCP (Ed Friedman) (11/25/85)

Has anyone found a way to guarantee 40 columns of text no matter which monitor
happens to be in use when the program is started?  Also, has anyone managed to
find a way to write text with other than white (or its inverse) as the color?

                                                Thanks in advance,
                                                Ed Friedman

I too would like info on the change text col on the 520.
The only way I could do it was to play with the colour palette on the
beatie.  I'm sure their must be some (non AES/VDI) calls to alter colours
