- Well, when I bought STalker3, it came with some GDOS fonts, namely a couple
- of IBM-ish fonts and one called PC-ANSI, a small font similar to the icon font,
- but easier to read. This works great on my TT.
-
- BTW, about GDOS speed. I only have a 2400 baud modem, but I find that GDOS
- keeps up pretty well UNLESS the remote computer sends a screen clear. This
- is slooooow.
