 You realy did overlook something (so did I for a while). When you click
 Compiler > Linker you will see three options. The 1st is to compile
 your programs in PM mode. The 2nd to compile your programs in PM
 compatible text mode (this is what you're looking for!), and the 3rd is
 a non-PM compatible text-mode (this'll go to a full-screen
 automatically).
 But too bad... With this info you can't realy use the text mode
 completely. The normal CRT unit that worked in the PM mode, doesn't
 work in text mode. Just like the Write and WriteLn prcedures. They
 won't write anything on your screen at all. To get this done you need
 to open the CON device (with the DOS unit), and use the Write and
 WriteLn procedures to write to the CON device...
 Yep, I guess you already know... SPEED-Pascal/2 is removed from my
 harddisk... I'm thinking about Borland C++ for OS/2. Something
 completely diferent, but I'm changing to a BBS program that's written
 in C...
