I have a Paradise Professional 16-bit VGA card.

It comes with a program to put it in mode 0x54, which is 132 columns x 43 rows

However, it also puts annoying cursors on either side of any line that DOS
prints.  DOS also only uses the first 25 rows of the screen.

I've tried to turn the extra cursors off by setting the cursor size to zero
using int 0x10, but that only turns the regular cursor off.

I also noticed that the regular cursor blinks at a different rate than the
extra ones.

Last night I wrote a program in C to set the screen to 132x43, and it still
had the extra cursors, so I know it's not Paradise's program.

Does anyone out there know:

	1. How to get rid of the extra cursors
	2. How to get DOS to use the extra rows

Please respond via E-mail
