Hello All,
I am a confused little Vegemite.
This VGA shit is all very well, but I get too many choices, and the
bloody monitor makes it worse, what with adjusting the width and crap
like that at the front panel, instead of opening it up and using a
proper screwdriver like god intended. I keep adjusting it... and the
print is too small for a poor old pensioner.
I can set the video to bloody-nearly-anything in Windows, but what
about DOS - I want to know? Doesn't DOS have video? I thought I'd just
set it up to something pretty and DOS would do the same, but it
doesn't. In fact, when I switch from Windows to DOS, I hear the poor
bloody monitor squeal trying to change back as fast as it can. This is
a cruel thing to do to a monitor.
The driver disc has drivers for AutoCad, Lotus, and Word 5. These
are DOS programs... so why won't their drivers work for ordinary DOS.
Isn't it just a matter of converting?
And what does bloody DOS run on anyway? I know it's just graphics
with a fixed font, but what's wrong with scaling to font to suit the
fancy-pants VGA, SVGA, XVGA and god knows what GA? It's a bloody
nuisance waiting for DOS programs to catch up when I switch from
Windows and back again... and it's no good running DOS programs in a
window because the dickheads who selected Windows fonts got them all
wrong. You wouldn't read about it! There's 10 fonts, and not one of
them worth a shit.
Is there an add-on or something that lets you choose the proper
font for DOS programs in Windows? 8x16 or 7x16 would be about right.
Regards,
Bob
