Hi. How does one (using /bin/stty or ioctl(S) calls) get an EGA console
screen to go into 43-line mode, allowing more than the usual 25 lines on
the screen??
I've looked in all the manuals to no avail.
Please send email only. Thanx.

Original to: norstar@tnl_uucp Try the SCO XENIX "vidi" command. Just run "vidi" and it will give you a number of diffrent res/fonts it can try and change to : also all "mode##" are graphics modes, so the screen will just go blank, though you still can get back to text modem by running e.g vidi vga .. it supports various res e.g e40x25 , v80x25, e80x43 (e-ega , v-vga .. though i use e80x43 on my vga to get 43 lines on the terminal. --- Zeta * Origin: Zeta: Unix, Minix, Xenix support (02) 627-4177 (3:713/602)

In /etc/termcap:
ansi43:\
:li#43:tc=ansi:
In .profile:
em43()
{
vidi e80x43
TERM=ansi43 TERMCAP="" emacs $*
vidi e80x25 # or your favorite setup
}
This allows editing in 43 lines mode while running interractive shell
in another mode (normally 25).
