That's only one possible mode of operation. Another one (as used by pcvt) is to have 8 foreground colors only, with the ability of using 512 character cells in the chargen. pcvt needs this mode to be closer to the rich charset abilities of VTxxx ttys, as opposed to the poor 256 chars of a typical PeeCee. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
