Sorry to post. Mail wouldn't work. Vmode info for toma@tekgvs.labs.tek.com Paradise EGA board. Sorry, no further information. The original box and documentation are in storage. If you absolutely have to have it, I can dig it out sometime. Hope this helps. CGA: MODE 2 COLS 80 LEN 4096 ROWS 24 POINTS 8 EGA ONLY: MODE 2 COLS 80 LEN 4096 ROWS 24 POINTS 14 STDCOLOR: MODE 3 COLS 80 LEN 4096 ROWS 24 POINTS 14 132 cols, 24 lines: MODE 55 COLS 132 LEN 8192 ROWS 24 POINTS 14 132 cols, 43 lines: MODE 54 COLS 132 LEN 8192 ROWS 42 POINTS 8 Note: in both 132 column modes, a blinking cursor appears at the beginning and the end of each line. I can't seem to use the 132 column modes with any of my software. It sure would be nice though. I would like to use it with brief, vp-planner, wordperfect, qmodem, etc. It also would be nice if I could find a terminal definition for 43 lines in our local termcap files. This would make vi a whole lot more useful. I already use the 80x43 line mode for brief. It's nice. 132x43 might be nice for huge spreadsheets. Any hints would be appreciated. In the rare case that original ideas Kenneth J. Hendrickson N8DGN are found here, I am responsible. Owen W328, E. Lansing, MI 48825 Internet: hendrick@frith.egr.msu.edu UUCP: ...!uunet!frith!hendrick

I too had trouble returning mail to Tom Almy, but my 3rd try didn't bounce so far. BTW, I don't know whether it works for the Paradise EGA, but if you try to use the Paradise 132x modes with Word Perfect 5.0, set the 132 column mode, and then start WP5 with the /f2 option. It worked for me with nansi and I believe nnansi. BTW, although this is a kludge the blinking objects can be turned off by running the accompanying batch file GCOFF.BAT (graphics cursor off) or by using the nnansin.sys version of nnansi which does not have the graphics cursor option.

I would like to know if anyone with other than a Paradise card is having problems with nnansi.sys other than: 1). loosing lines of text with some programs unless CLS is executed first. 2). Funny graphic cursor ghosts (Solution GCOFF.BAT, or compile driver with graphic cursor off). I plan to fix the initial ghost upon switching to graphic mode. 3). Sometimes funny colors of characters in graphic mode (caused by programs using BIOS calls confilicting with ANSI modes when NNANSI compiled with takeBIOS EQU TRUE. Tom Almy toma@tekgvs.labs.tek.com
