  26. There's no standard way to put a DOS display into 132-column mode.
  27. (On OS/2 with SVGA, you can say "mode co132,28")
  28.  
  29. MSKermit expects (requires) you to insert the appropriate commands to put
  30. your particular display adapter into 132-column mode into the COLS132.BAT
  31. file to have 132-column support on DOS.
  32.  
  33. If your PC is capable of running OS/2, C-Kermit for OS/2 supports 132-column.
  34. If your PC is capable of running Win95, I suspect you'd find Kermit95 does, too.
