[swnet.sys.ibm.pc] Help with text in graphics mode on PC & PS/2

dvlpde@apollon.cs.umu.se (02/23/90)

Greetings,

Having recently aquired a PS/2 and installing DOS 4.0, I was surprised to
see the DOSSHELL writing very neat text in the black and white graphics mode.
(I am not sure what resolution but it certainly is High >= 640x200.)

I am currently working on a project and would have great use of being able
to produce similar results.  I currently use the MCGA screen, but have seen
the same on EGA and VGA.  My question is:
Where can I find information on how to use and program such text?  Is there
a book one should read?  Is there anyone out there who has some program
examples which I could take a look at?
I work with QuickC and/or MASM.  I can even run TP 5.0 if it is necessary,
so any kind of program code will do.

Any information would be of great help.  Thanks,   Phil.
