Turbo Vision is a text mode system. You can switch between text and
graphics modes in a TV program, but you won't be able to use the TV
features in graphics mode.

I'm not sure about CRT's direct support of > 80 columns. My
_suspicion_ is that if the BIOS variable(s) indicate more than 80
columns on the screen, CRT _might_ be able to deal with it
appropriately.

(FWIW, TurboPower's Object Professional can handle nonstandard screen
sizes in a straightforward fashion.)
