If you can get a copy of PC/VI (tm) from Custom Software Systems, you can modify the termcap file to specify the number of lines you want in the #li parameter. Alas, it looks specifically for a "terminal" called "bios", so you can't make different terminal names for different screen sizes. But, you can make different termcaps with the li#NN value different, and have a .bat file install the proper one before you invoke PC/VI. I read a rumor on the net that CSS was out of business, but check it out: 617-653-2555. Word was they lost a lawsuit with AT&T (oops..). marc =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= = Marc Johnson BITNET: rna!marc@rockvax.bitnet = = Rockefeller Univ.
