There is a widely distributed public domain program that allows approx.
106-column-wide by 34 rows text under QBasic. It provides some subs that operate
in B/W-CGA graphics mode and translates ascii characters into the appropriate
pixel-maps. Its rather slow and has several limitations, such as only dealing
with a subset of the alpha-numerics (i.e. no lower-case letters).

I wrote an (allegedly) improved version that operates in VGA mode, allows
colors, and covers a wider portion of the usual alpha-numeric set.

If someone is interested, send me mail and I will (try to) send you
info on the original PD "CGA" version, or if you're adventurous I'll try
to clean up my VGA version.

This isn't 132 mode - but in some applications its an easy way to get
more on the screen without having to muck with the hardware.
