Hi,

Is it possible to tell freemacs about non-standard screen sizes, other
than 43 and 58 line EGA modes?

I have a Commodore PC40 (IBM AT compatible) with an AGA card.  This
card has a 44x132 screen mode that I would like to be able to use with
freemacs.

I know it isn't too difficult to use this extra screen space, as
MS-DOS uses it, and I also have a DOS version of the MG editor which I
have modified to use it (since I have the source code).  I am,
however, not familiar with the inner workings of freemacs, so I would
appreciate any assistance in this matter.

Yes, I could just use MG, but freemacs is faster for most things
(except incremental search), and I don't often want to edit files
larger than 64K (which MG can do).

Please reply from email, as I don't always read this group.
