I need to display big text on a CGA (laptop, and that's all you get). I have to do a custom application with this, so I'd need a program library (preferably with source). Any leads to such a thing would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- Mark McWiggins Integration Technologies, Inc.

Sounds to me like the only way you're going to be able to do this is via large fonts that come with various paint programs, like PC Paintbrush, etc. There may be hardware boards available that will require a regular 8 bit expansion slot. If you had EGA, that would be easy, as I have personally used software that will display 12 EGA lines (big letters) on an EGA. If you do have hardware slots available, you could add in an EGA board, and use such software (EGA12.COM, available from PC Magnet/PC Magazine on Compuserve and elsewhere) also. Hope this helps. ---------------------------------------- | STANDARD DISCLAIMER: | | "... on the other hand, some very | UUCP: akcs.amparsonjr@vpnet.uucp | knowledgable people may justifiably | | disagree with my comments, in whole | C-serve: 73336,1667 | or in part ...

I have a series of assembler routines (homegrown) that will display big characters on a CGA screen. These routines are callable from any MS language. (C, PASCAL, ForTRan, MASM (of course) ).
