Hello Eric.
Thanks very much for your suggestion above. It worked perfectly to give
me a 78x21 screen. Perhaps the missing two characters were crlf.
I see you wrote mode - very nicely done.
The screen is now perfectly readable.
I used to know about EGA back in the 70's or 80's but don't remember
what an EGA 350 row mode means.
Does the second line use some magic and select the font below which is
on my Kubuntu laptop?
/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/8x16.pcf.gz
The 8x16pcf font appears to be about the same as the vga12x30 I was
using but I can't see why.
Thank you for your help on this and some time ago on Nansi also.
