[comp.sys.atari.st.tech] 49 line sto a screen

fields@triton.cray.com (Mike Fields) (01/16/91)

Does anybody know how to switch the screen into 49 line mode
such that the VT52 emulator software works as if it WAS 49 lines ?

I used to be able to do it with the routine :-

FONTSMALL:	LEA.L	$FD2CA6, A0
		JSR	$FC4A98
		
		RTS

And doing a JSR FONTSMALL.

A similar one, FONTBIG, set the screen back.

This used to work, I don't know, but I presume it was under TOS
1.0 and now I have 1.2 (and 1.6) and it doesn't work. 

It sure would be nice to get back to having 49 lines (Beckemeyer
CSH works with 49 lines along with various editors.
