Joerg, here's what I've found...


This is an excerpt from the SuperComm documentation file.  It describes one
variation of the 25-line patch.  Patch locations may vary depending on whether
other patches have been applied to your GRFDRV module.

          PATCHES AND FIXES FOR ENHANCED EFFECT UNDER SUPERCOMM
          -----------------------------------------------------

Module: GrfDrv Purpose: Create a text screen with 225 scan lines and 25 text
lines per
         screen.  Note: this is for use with RGB monitors that have that
         capacity.  Most T.V.s and composite monitors will not scan over
         200 lines. Problems:  In order to get the full 25 lines of text, you
must also adjust
         the terminal descriptor to work accordingly.  (i.e. patch /term
         or whatever window you happen to use for your hardware TEXT
         screens).

After Kevin Darling put his speed-up modifications, the patch locations moved,
and additional patches are needed.

These are the patch areas that I have for a GRFDRV that's been patched with
KD's speed-up mods.

These are the patches that have worked for me.
