I add myself to K=FCber conclussions. I use this kind of little_but_powerful_programs (we call them "PPPP", from "Programas Peque=F1os Pero Potentes"). I have thousands of them (well, OK, I've not counted exactly) in my windows environment. By the way, don't know what kind of routines are you using, and how do you "talk" to the VGA, but I can only execute eedraw in full screen mode in windows. Perhaps it would be useful to use it in a window, and see the rest of the system at once (OrCAD sch and Eudora mail, for example). How about a kind of zoom? (perhaps it is easy for you to simply change the font resolution of the VGA...)
