Hi,
As far as I know there are no **STANDARD** PC text video modes
that give 132 columns.
Precisely, just what is so difficult about that statement for people on this
list to understand!!??
The bottom line is that the **ONLY** ***STANDARD*** text modes supported by
EGA and VGA adapters are 40 and 80 column. END OF ARGUMENT. PERIOD.
Whilst it is perfectly true that most/all "SuperVGA" cards support one or
more 132 column text modes, these modes - along with their mode numbers -
are unique to each manufacturer and indeed often differ between chipsets
Not likely - as far as I know there are no standard PC
text
video modes that give 132 columns.
Long ago I had a 132char driver for the Hercules/TTL mono video
card. I was based on the 720x348 mono graphics mode. from the same manufacturer!
Great if you want to tie your software to working with only a single brand
of chipset/graphics card (which I doubt is what the OP wants), but otherwise
utterly useless....
TTFN - Pete.
