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.

Actaully I got the program from the following posting.

>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.
