The ANSI standards (X3.41 and X3.64) make no mention of display size. It is prefectly legal (standards wise) to have a screen 80x25, 80x66, 132x66, 132x24, 8x10, or any other size you like. However, most software is too lame to understand that terminal screens come in different sizes, so it is best to have a screen at least 80x24 in size. In summary, it is possible to have a "PAL" size display (whatever that works out to be), but it *may* not be very usefull. > -jack- -hans ======================================================================== Hans-Gabriel Ridder Digital Equipment Corporation ridder@elvira.enet.dec.com Customer Support Center ...decwrl!elvira.enet!ridder Colorado Springs, CO
