getting into 143 column mode using textmode() under Turbo 'C' doesn't work
because the 143 column mode isn't a "standard" text mode.  You'll have to
use BIOS calls (the easiest way) to get into the proper text mode.  I
can't seem to find any calls for 143 column mode .. tons for 132 column
mode .. but none for 143 .. unfortunately, you'll pretty much have to know
which card you're working with to trip the proper BIOS call for 132 column
mode vor your particlar video card .. if there is a general function of
interrupt 0x10 that initializes 132 column mode, or if its defined under
the VGA standard, I can't seem to find it .. if anyone knows, could you
tell us?
