I'm a bit confused by your post. Did you perhaps leave out the vital
phrase "MS-DOS"? If so, the code which does the switching to 132 columns
is dependent on the video hardware. The hardware (graphics adapter
*and* monitor) need to support 132 column modes, first of all. Then
you need to put your "custom" hook
to switch to 132 columns in the file COLS132.BAT. At one time, most
video cards came with documentation and a floppy disk containing a utility
that would let you change modes. Unfortunately, in the currently
enlightened age of generic hardware that often doesn't come with a manual or
any documentation (much less a brand name!), you may just be left out
in the cold. If this was the case, go back to the people who sold you
the card and if you're lucky they might know how to switch video modes.
