- PC Tools actually uses a graphical display mode to show its screens unless
- you tell it not to; I'm guessing Norton does the same thing. DV doesn't
- support these, so when it converts to the regular font/attributes, blinking
- and/or other wierdness results. I believe that PC Tools can be configured
- to not use this feature; not sure about Norton. Use PCCONFIG, Display
- options, to set the display to Text Mode instead of Graphics Mode. This
- should work.
