[net.micro.atari16] hi50 Request

  This morning I saw a posting for a termcap using a 'hi50 hack' that
I assume, gets 50 lines on a mono system. I would really appreciate ANY
pointers and/or the hack itself. As always, thanks in advance for any
help.

The hi50 hack is a very small TOS program (256 bytes) written in
assembly language.  It, and source, is available from the Atari
BBS (don't know the numbers off-hand) plus I've seen it on several
other Atari 520ST BBS's in this area (Silicon Valley).  Try your
local BBS.  Or wait until I post it, in a week or two, when  I have
the time.

P.S.  The text is quite small in 50 line mode, but it is readable.
You could even get 66 line mode, if you were really crazy.
Someday someone will do that as well, I imagine.
