     * 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,

       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

  non-overlapping windows.
