Is there anyone out there that uses both DOS XE and the XEP80 80-column screen?
This is a fairly technical question.  Under DOS 2.5, it is possible to flip
between the Antic and the XEP80 displays using XIO commands 24 and 25.  What I
have done is created a DOS XE disk that automatically runs the XEP80.DRV
program.  I then go to Basic and type the XIO command to go to the Antic 
display.  There I'm stuck - the XIO command to return to 80 columns isn't 
recognized.  (unfortunately, I don't remember the error number right now.)
However, running XEP80.DRV over again (from DOS XE) works fine.  Has anyone 
else ever noticed this?
     While I'm at it, are there other services similar to INFO-ATARI out there?
I've heard there were, and if Info-Atari is going to shut down I'd like to know
where they are.  How is it that there's an Info-____ for MS-DOS machines that 
isn't too big? Are there more on-line Atarians than MS-DOS users?
     Thanks.
