subject: Detecting if fullscreen DOS session.

Replying to a message of Tonny Bjoern to All:

 TB> Hi All, how are you ?

 TB> For some time ago I wrote to you All to help me out. I still don't
 TB> know how to sole my problem ! You see, I'm making a program (DOS)
 TB> that loads own designed fonts (for NU like screens), but when running
 TB> the program in a windowed-dos-session the emulation f.... up my font.
 TB> Is it possible to detect if a dos-program is running fullscreen or
 TB> windowed ? If possible, I would like to see some code for this in
 TB> assembler or pascal.

Since DOS sessions can be switched between windowed and full screen on the
fly (Alt-Home), it may not be possible. to do what you are trying.
