>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
