Since the offscreen facility is only possible with a Hercules, MDA, or CGA, I wonder: If one has a video adaptor that can emulate these cards is it possible to fool the system into thinking that there is a CGA or MDA installed when running VP/ix? -Richard L.

I haven't found it, but if you want to run a text application you can call your own machine via serial or TCP, then run vpix as if you were a serial line. Bizarre, but it allows slow stuff to run in the background on an inactive virtual terminal. -- bill davidsen (davidsen@crdos1.crd.GE.COM -or- uunet!crdgw1!crdos1!davidsen) "The world is filled with fools.
