Sorry to post.  Mail wouldn't work.  Vmode info for
toma@tekgvs.labs.tek.com

Paradise EGA board.  Sorry, no further information.
The original box and documentation are in storage.
If you absolutely have to have it, I can dig it out
sometime.  Hope this helps.

CGA:
MODE       2
COLS      80
LEN     4096
ROWS      24
POINTS     8

EGA ONLY:
MODE       2
COLS      80
LEN     4096
ROWS      24
POINTS    14

STDCOLOR:
MODE       3
COLS      80
LEN     4096
ROWS      24
POINTS    14

132 cols, 24 lines:
MODE      55
COLS     132
LEN     8192
ROWS      24
POINTS    14

132 cols, 43 lines:
MODE      54
COLS     132
LEN     8192
ROWS      42
POINTS     8

Note: in both 132 column modes, a blinking cursor appears at the
beginning and the end of each line.  I can't seem to use the
132 column modes with any of my software.  It sure would be nice
though.  I would like to use it with brief, vp-planner, wordperfect,
qmodem, etc.  It also would be nice if I could find a terminal
definition for 43 lines in our local termcap files.  This would
make vi a whole lot more useful.

I already use the 80x43 line mode for brief.  It's nice.

132x43 might be nice for huge spreadsheets.

Any hints would be appreciated.
