Try this: #include <bios.h> /* For definition of union REGS */ /* Set 25 line mode. Rock solid stuff */ void set_25_lines () { union REGS regs; regs.x.ax = 0x0003; /* 80 by 25 color */ int86( 0x10, ®s, ®s ); screen_rows = 25; graphics_set = FALSE; clear_screen(); } /* Set 43 line mode. This is a little bit magic. */ void set_43_lines () { union REGS regs; set_25_lines(); /* Stewardship */ regs.x.ax = 0x0300; /* Ask about the cursor */ regs.h.bh = 0; int86( 0x10, ®s, ®s ); regs.x.ax = 0x1112; /* Load ROM 8x8 double-dot font */ regs.h.bl = 0; /* Page zero */ int86( 0x10, ®s, ®s ); screen_rows = 43; clear_screen(); } Have fun! kdq -- Kevin D.

Using MS- or PC-DOS v.3.x or v.4.x, enter C:\DOS\MODE.COM CON LINES=43 COLUMNS=80 LINES can be 25, 43, or 50; COLUMNS can be 40 or 80. The command can be entered from the DOS prompt or in a batch.
