Hi Eric, Your comments are encouraging to me. Here are the details on this program and its video support. Ashton-Tate's Framework IV dates from 1991. It ships with a set of generic video drivers enabling all the ordinary text and graphical VGA modes, plus a set of SVGA-mode drivers specific to various chip sets. By examining the drivers with a Framework video utility, I can see that the differences among the drivers mainly involve the column/row values for the character counts and the hex values in the AX and BX registers. For example, here are values for three typical drivers: COL ROW AX BX Description ======================================================= 132 44 0033h 0000h 16-color 640x480 text mode 80 50 1112h 0000h 16-color 640x480 text mode 100 31 4F02h 0102h 16-color 800x600 graphics mode All of these drivers work fine using a Mach 64 board (ATI Graphics Expression) under OS/2 4.0. Only the first two work fine (same computer, same ATI card) under xdos 1.0.1 (using MSDOS 6.2 and XFree86 3.3). It's the 132x44 text mode driver that doesn't work. Using it, the program does indeed run, but the display "wraps" unevenly at 80 columns, scrambling the screen. If DOSEmu really can support 132-column VGA text mode, that would be awesome!
