Procedure SetVirtualScreen(XSize,YSize:Word)
Updates VX and VY : No
Updates Cursor Position : No
This creates a virtual screen on the colour card. The value of Card
is ignored.
Example
SetVirtualScreen(160,50)
sets up a virtual screen of 160x50 in the current text mode. The
virtual screen may be almost any size as long as
XSize * YSize * 2 < 32768.
That is, the screen may only use 32 kb of memory. The colour card
will not display more than 32 kb of information.
Note that the screen may be at most 255 characters long and no
more than (255 + <Screen Width>) wide.
For example, if you are using a 80x25 screen, the maximum width is
335 (255+80) and the maximum length is 255. Also, you may only use
32 kb of screen display memory (hardware limitation, 8 pages) and
335*225*2 is 150 kb so may not be used (even if a 2 Megabyte Super
VGA is installed).
