- Well you post news with lines that dont exceed 80 characters in length
- and then you can either use display (see another followup) or hack the
- window driver.
-
- Another way is to use modpatch:
-
- OS9: modpatch
- l w1
- c 2c <x> 50
- ...
-
- (I forget the actual changes needed now :)
-
- then if you want to make it permanent, use "save" and save it back to
- disk and rebuild using os9gen.
-
- You could try copying over the values stored for w7 (the only standard
- full screen 80x24 screen) into the term window descriptor where approriate.
-
- Consult your OS9 manual for more details (see section 6 - SCF Manager in
- the tech. ref. part).
-
- If you use any of the more permanent methods, MAKE SURE you update the
- module CRC before any save/reboot else you wont get very far next reboot.
-
- Just out of curiosity, did anyone else out there get 16 or more 80x24
- screens up on a 512k machine ? (note: you werent left with much after
- this :-)
