Hi, Is there any commercial communication programm in which VT100 emulation mode shows more than 25 lines on a VGA screen. I'd like to suggest that some hacker in the net program such mode for the future KERMIT v2.33. If you are interested, then you might start from the following program. This almost works for KERMIT v2.31 except that it issues two local echos every time you hit a key even in the no-local-echo setting. Hugh gsg0384@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu Actaully I got the program from the following posting. ----------------------------------------------------------------- /* Written 9:55 am Sep 22, 1988 by mcdonald@uxe.cso.uiuc.edu in uicsrd.csrd.uiuc.edu:comp.sys.ibm.pc */ >Are there any PD utilities that can give 80 x 40-50 text on VGA? Yes. Here it is, uuencoded: begin 0666 mode5080.com >N , S1"T$; 2LP#-$+02L "S(,T0M &Y!P3-$,T@ end This thing should generate a 30 byte file called mode5080.com. Here is the assembler code: cseg segment para public 'code' org 100h SETMOD proc far assume cs:cseg,ds:cseg mov ax,3 int 16 mov ah, 17 mov al, 18 mov bl, 0 int 16 mov ah, 18 mov al, 0 mov bl, 32 int 16 mov ah, 1 mov cx, 0407h int 16 int 020h SETMOD endp end SETMOD It can be reversed by typing "mode co80". In DOS 3.3 dos itself runs just fine in this mode. So does WordPerfect 5.00, but precious little else. Doug McDonald /* End of text from uicsrd.csrd.uiuc.edu:comp.sys.ibm.pc */
