The display is limited to 25, 28, 40, or 50 character rows on a VGA, but you have to account for overall screen size, so this is only 8/10/14/16 lines per character cell for a 400-line display. As i wrote, i needed to work on a 480-line notebook LCD display, this works now with bigger fonts (but still 25/28/40/50 character rows). -- 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. ;-)
