I'm nearly finished with a set of updates to STEVI369 posted recently
to comp.sources.misc which allows you to create a version which uses the
ROM BIOS and does not need NANSI.SYS or NNANSI.SYS.  The license pro-
visions for nansi & nnansi preclude their commercial use which may be
a problem for some people.

43 and 50 line support is included both for nansi/nnansi and BIOS versions.
Actually, support for different displays is nearly there already.  All I
did was add some code to change the display mode - there is, however, no
automatic sensing of the screen mode and exiting from STEVIE causes the
display to revert to an ordinary 25-line mode.  Thus, my additions do not
make for complete multiple screen format support either.

There will also be TI Pro support.  When completed, I will post diffs and
I will send same to Tony Andrews to incorporate if he wishes.

regards, Larry
