hi Jim,

 JL>   !     Anyone know how to switch into 80x30 line mode, similar to how
 JL> the program Jmode changes the screen into this mode?  Its a high res
 JL> mode, because it switches the monitor into graphics mode.

"mode 80,30" doesn't work?  Some weeks ago I posted the source of
my Viox utility (which lets you poke any number at VioSetMode and see what
happens) here, and "jmode&viox -q" (undocumented switch to
query current state;-) gives:

-m1,4,80,30,640,480
-f(8x16)
-b0

meaning Jmode sets a text mode with a lower resolution and a somewhat
smaller font then Mode co80,25.  Me, I prefer 80x34 at 720x480 (9x14 soft
font) and 132x28 at 1052x400 (8x14 font) :-)  Pity OS/2 supports the Tseng
ET4000's high res text mode (100x40 at 800x600) only in DOS boxes...

regards,
         hugo
