Sounds to me like the only way you're going to be able to do this is via large fonts that come with various paint programs, like PC Paintbrush, etc. There may be hardware boards available that will require a regular 8 bit expansion slot. If you had EGA, that would be easy, as I have personally used software that will display 12 EGA lines (big letters) on an EGA. If you do have hardware slots available, you could add in an EGA board, and use such software (EGA12.COM, available from PC Magnet/PC Magazine on Compuserve and elsewhere) also. Hope this helps. ---------------------------------------- | STANDARD DISCLAIMER: | | "... on the other hand, some very | UUCP: akcs.amparsonjr@vpnet.uucp | knowledgable people may justifiably | | disagree with my comments, in whole | C-serve: 73336,1667 | or in part ...
