Since the maximum resolution of a _VGA_ screen is 720x480 that gives a 5x9 character matrix. Not what *I* would call a readable font. To get 132 columns you either need some sort of superVGA card or one of the monochrome cards that supports 132 column. We have some from Everex that work well. -- Leonard Erickson ...!tektronix!reed!percival!bucket!leonard CIS: [70465,203] "I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools.
