Has anyone out there got any editors for AT&T/Olivetti graphics cards that use the 80x50 text mode? How about an editor that goes through ANSI? I've managed to hack together an 80x50 version of nansi that works with this display card, so an editor going through ANSI should be easy to modify. I'm also looking for an 80x50 communications program. Anyone got one of those? If nobody can help with either of these, I'll end up modifying MS-Kermit and mg2a to fill the space I need.

I also have modified a version for variable number of lines and cols for a paradise card. Freemacs supports different size screens and should be easy to modify for you screen since you can get the sources to it easily. Let me know of you need more info or a copy of what I have.

I've managed to hack MicroEMACS works 50 lines with a VGA, and source is available. You should be able to handle any format. I run the UNIX version in 43 lines mode. There is also and ANSI driver option for memacs which you should be able to set for 50 line ops. good luck. -- bill davidsen (wedu@ge-crd.arpa) {uunet | philabs}!steinmetz!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me

If you can get a copy of PC/VI (tm) from Custom Software Systems, you can modify the termcap file to specify the number of lines you want in the #li parameter. Alas, it looks specifically for a "terminal" called "bios", so you can't make different terminal names for different screen sizes. But, you can make different termcaps with the li#NN value different, and have a .bat file install the proper one before you invoke PC/VI. I read a rumor on the net that CSS was out of business, but check it out: 617-653-2555. Word was they lost a lawsuit with AT&T (oops..). marc =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= = Marc Johnson BITNET: rna!marc@rockvax.bitnet = = Rockefeller Univ.

>Has anyone out there got any editors for AT&T/Olivetti graphics cards >that use the 80x50 text mode? WordPerfect will work in any text mode you are in before it starts up (latest version 5.?). This is dependent on the size being stored properly by the call that did the changing, and may not work on all computers. But it works fine on both of mine - even in 132x60 mode! (serious eyestrain, though) .
