Hi, Several people have complained that ega43.com doesn't really switch to 43 lines. It does. The problem is that ansi.sys won't let the cursor go below the 24th line of the screen. To get things to work, you need to take device=ansi.sys out of your config.sys file and then reboot. I am told that nansi.sys and fansi console will handle 43 line ega formats, so you can get one of those and replace your antiquated ansi.sys. In truth, the 43 line ega format is not terribly useful in general use with DOS since so many programs stupidly assume that there are only 24 lines on your screen. There is a separate patch for Wordstar that will let it edit in 43 line format. I've found that this is pretty useful. I got the ws patch a while back from mod.ibm-pc. If anybody is interested, send me an email or give me a ring. By the way this is for Wordstar version 3.x. --Bill Bill Mayhew Division of Basic Medical Sciences Northeastern Ohio Universities' College of Medicine Rootstown, OH 44272 USA phone: 216-325-2511 (wtm@neoucom.UUCP ...!cbatt!neoucom!wtm)
