	Hi, all!

	I'm working on porting some code to utilize the 132-column
functionality of various video cards.  I've got it working on Everex
compatible monochrome cards and Vega VGAs.  My problem is this:

	How do I tell the BIOS that I'm in 132-column mode?  I assume it's
an INT 10 call, but the Video BIOS documentation I have is slim.
Right now, I can get into 132-col. mode fine and use my own display
package without a probelm, but as soon as I do puts()'s, it becomes
obvious that the BIOS thinks we're still in 80-col. mode.

	Please e-mail replies to gub@FTP.COM.

	Thanks in advance!
