Like PC speaker emulation…. I don’t think provides any support for higher
resolution text modes.

First…
There seems to be a general misunderstanding that DOS only supports 80x25
columns. While it is possible that an extremely lazy programmer would hard code
for that resolution, most did not. Even back in the early days the display
could be in 40x25, 80x43, 80x50 and numerous other text

Try this as an example http://www.edzup.co.uk/images/EVGAMODE.zip
Usage: EVGAMODE [mode]
where mode is either 640x480, 800x600 or 1024x768. If you use CLS it will
return to the previous resolution as the mode is just a temporary change :).

There is also high Res text mode.

If this is of any help, you can set an
80x28 resolution in VGA by selecting
an 8x14 pixel font, instead of the more
common 8x16. Some even look better.
It is also possible to set the screen
mode to an SVGA or higher resolution,
but not all modes support BIOS text
functions, and you need these

Hello there,
So there is no way to change to VGA resolution? That is unfortunate. But thanks for telling me!
I wanted to change the resolution as a part of my desktop "customization", but I guess that will not be possible.
Thanks for all the help!
Hi there,
nice to see that you're trying to tweak old software to fit on modern
screens... still I have a cold shower for you :-) Sorry about it.
Not sure where DOS borrowed its "terminal" / console code, whether
CP/M or UNIX... the fact is, that in the way of "support", the DOS
console lacks

There seem to be a serious misconception on your end. FreeDOS, like any

Hello,
I would use MODE CON. After all, you want to reconfigure the console, and
that is what MODE CON is for.

A VGA resolution (?), 640x480 resolution so the text doesn't look messy when I am cURLing a website, for example, or when the --help parameter is too long.
