Has anybody got pc-more to work on a vanilla PC with monochrome
monitor? When I run pc-more the screen shows garbage (goes out of
sync) but by looking at the disk led while typing various commands I
can see that the system is still alive. Oh, yes, this is a two floppy
256k system.

I sent mail to the author but am still waiting for an answer. Pierre Darmon University of Rochester {allegra|decvax|seismo}!rochester!ur-tut!pier

Here follows the mail that I directly got from the author of PC-More: Oooops!!!! Sorry 'bout that. It seems that I designed (inadvertently) PC-More to work only on monochrome systems, which is what I have. If you don't mind recompiling, the fix is easy. Simply change every appearance of "crt_mode(7)" with crt_mode(x), where x is: 0 40 x 25 BW 1 40 x 25 color 2 80 x 25 bw 3 80 x 25 color 4 320x200 color 5 320x200 bw 6 640x200 bw 7 80 x 25 monochrome card Sorry for the problem, and thanks for the bug fix. I'll probably repost the binary with crt_mode(2) implemented for people with color monitors.
