Via private mail I also send much the same info as you did (my TP code
was from the book _Stretching Turbo Pascal : Version 5.5_ by Ken Porter
and Mike Floyd.

So while I have code, I can't say I understand the process.  Also,
STP:v55 mentions looking at a book by Wilton but never gives a
reference (I think Porter died, leaving an unfinished manuscript).

So I, for one, would appreciate an explanation if you care to do so.  Other
video modes would also be interesting.  just what can you do with the system
fonts in DOS.

Thanks.
