A few days ago, i installed Overscan in my Mega. Unfortunately i had to recognize that none of my editors can work with the higher resolution. My question is: Is there somebody who kwows an editor that will work in overscan mode( i am using a b/w monitor)? Thanxs B.Esser Phys. Inst. d. Uni Bonn Germany

The only editor I use is the micro-emacs implemented in Gulam. It works fine in overscan mode. Note, if you "set nrows 50" in monochrome, Gulam will be confused at first. Exit it and restart it, and it'll get the screen dimensions from LineA and all will be well. (86 columns by 60 rows.) (I avoid this hassle by having a small AUTO program that sets the 8-line font at boot-up. Then I don't need the Gulam "set nrows" command, and TOS uses the 8-line font without hassles...) -- -- Howard Chu @ University of Michigan

Using any MicroEMACS from version 3.9 up, add the following line to your emacs.rc file: set $sres DENSE and MicroEMACS will go into 50 line mode. If the VT52 screen emulator works within overscan mode you can also add the lines: 60 change-screen-size 90 change-screen-width clear-and-redraw to use the extra space.

About Oversacn..... I thought it was software AND hardware modification. Do I only need the overscan prg. and no changes to the monitor. Can someone post the explanantion on how to change the monitor? thanks.. Bernard Bediako --------=-=-=-=-=-> DOMAIN: bediako@cs.buffalo.edu "You CAN have your cake and eat it!"
