Let's try again...
According to TECH notes from Quarterdeck, DESQview is not capable of using
1024x768 video modes, as well as the other fancy features of video cards
like the ATI VGA WONDER. I would like to write a driver so that I could
* Use the 132 column text modes
* Create my own graphics font so that I can squeeze as many characters
on the screen as possible and have as many non-overlapping 25x80
windows as possible,
* and be able to save and virtualize 800x600 and 1024x768 graphics
screens.
Does anyone have documention on the .DVR graphics drivers file format?
Or has anyone else written an ATI VGA Wonder driver? Considering the
popularity of Super VGA cards, I would suspect that someone has already
done this, and I think a lot of Desqview users would love to have more
non-overlapping windows.
