Does anyone know how I can set the text mode to be 80*50 characters?
IIRC setting colour text mode is done seperately from setting the
number of lines but I just can't remember how to do it.
This is the wee chunk of code that sets text mode but it leaves me
in 80*25 characters, which is too small:

 /* Set video mode */
 r.h.ah = 0x00;
 r.h.al = 0x03; /* Color text mode */
 int86(0x10, &r, &r);

Oh yeah, I'm using DJGPP.
