FC/2 is great in OS/2. Full screen it can use my video cards native 132
column modes just the same as my DOS programs can. With SDD Pro
installed, it can run in custom row/column modes just as nicely. Even in
vio mode it handles 132 column nicely.

I've been trying to learn windoze, both 98 & 2000, and FC/W is giving me
a fit figuring out how to get a usable configuration. If I Alt-Enter to
fullscreen, 2000 remains in some sort of virtual text mode that makes
132 column wider than the screen and at 30 rows, shorter. About the only
way I can use it is in 80 column. No amount of juggling of screen buffer
or window size in layout or font sizes seems to give anything remotely
resembling the OS/2 native full screen modes or virtual modes available
at 14 X 6 font. Either the fonts are too narrow to read, windoze refuses
me to allow to resize the window to remove horizontal scroll, or the
window is sized to wide for the screen.

Video is Tseng ET6x00, which has native SVGA text modes for 132 columns
and 25, 28, 43 & 50 or 60 rows, and also the standard VESA SVGA text
modes. Resolution is set to 800 X 600. Everything is too small for my
eyes at anything higher.

Can someone explain what I have to set to make 132 columns work usably
in FC/W, preferably something resembling what OS/2 offers?

In 98, mouse works in FC/W, but not in 2000. Is there a way to enable
mouse for FC/W in 2000?
