Besides the text drivers for Basic and DOS, I have been testing the graphic modes G4,G6 and G7 These are 256x192@16, 512x192@16 and 256x192@256colours. The vertical 192 can be set to 212 at will. My first atempt has been trying to blend together two images with different colours, so that we could se...

Hello, I have prepared two drivers to work in mode Text1 (40 columns) and in Text2 (80 columns) Both intercept some system hooks in order to 'adapt' the CharOut, Cls and Print@ to the new width Because of the changed hooks, you should remember to uninstall the driver or system will hang or go wild! ...

Thanks alot pere In fact, while modifying the bats that call some games in my setup, I have found that the ending double quote is not needed ind...

Right now I just remember the Eurohard DOS4.1 having that feature Next step will be saving the program you want to be autostar...
