The documentation for u386mon doesn't seem to explain this -- I want
to be able to use u386mon on my Esix system in 43 line mode on my VGA
display (NEC Multisync II, ATI VGA Wonder 512K) -- the u386mon docs
say you can do 43 line mode, but don't say how.
I have a program called ega43 that makes the display turn into 43 line
mode -- but when I run u386mon, it only uses "25 line mode".
Thanks if you know how to do this!
Bill

Further experimentation with command-line options has led me to the
-P option. This doesn't work (for me) though.

Do you also set LINES=43 after running ega43? Or select a terminal type that says lines#43 in the definition? Otherwise how is u386mon gonna know what mode you're in.

The LINES and COLS environment variables will override any lines#xx or cols#xx in the terminfo entry. Terminfo first loads the entry from /usr/lib/terminfo/?/???? and then checks the environment for LINES and COLS. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Warren Tucker, March Hare gatech!n4hgf!wht or wht@n4hgf.Mt-Park.GA.US "Tell the moon; don't tell the March Hare: He is here to look around."

I use SCO's "vidi" command to induce 43-line mode on 8 out of my 12 multiscreens. This requires two changes: The kernel must be recompiled, changing SCRNMEM in /usr/sys/conf/space.inc to be 60H, (or better, letting /usr/sys/conf/configure do that for you, and answering "96" as the No. of K of screen memory -- for more 43-line screens, increase it). A different TERM setting. Instead of "ansi", my 43-line screens use "an43", and the definition of that in /etc/termcap is: an43: :li#43:tc=ansi: -- Jean-Pierre Radley HIGH-Q jpr@jpradley CIS: 72160,1341
