[comp.lang.pascal] User defined characters in textmode

kamal@wpi.WPI.EDU (Kamal Z Zamli) (09/20/90)

Does anybody know how to define characters, like those "chr" characters in
graphic mode into textmode ? Any help would be appreciated....
                                          Thanks

See Kent Porter's Turbo Pascal book.  But one caution.  While
graphics characters are softcode bitmapped, I seem to recall that
textmode characters are hardcoded, and there would thus be nothing
that can be done about them.  I may be wrong, so if anyone knows
better, please share the information with the newsgroup.
