I am looking for text editors that work properly on VGA cards in
mode 0x54, ie, 132 X 43 lines. I am aware that WordStar can work
in this mode, but it is not as nice for general purpose editing.
I would prefer a vi type editor, but could live with a Microsoft
M or edt type editor. The M editor claims to work in this mode,
but I haven't been successful with it. Microsoft claims the editor
was tested on a Vega VGA. My VGA is a Paradise Plus, and that might
have something to do with it.
Also, does anyone know if there's a way to make DOS realize there
are 43 lines on the screen? Must you rewrite every single function
and application by hand using interrupt 10H to place stuff on the
screen where you want?
Please call or reply by long email address as I don't regularly read
this newsgroup. Any help would be appreciated.
