[Coco] default display in NOS9

[Bill Pierce]

Mike, I have a real easy to use program that sets the display like you want it and then as you said, just cobbler a new disk.
The program is "wmode" which works like tmode but for the windows.
The program can be found here:

The program is pretty self-explanitory, but typing "wmode" alone brings up the usage message (I think)

Subject: [Coco] default display in NOS9


I downloaded the 6809 40 track NitrOS9 disk image and made a backup (using
the
newest VCC).  My real coco uses a colour composite monitor so I need to
step the
default display down to 40 columns instead of 80 and then maybe
cobbler a new
bootdisk - I think, its been a while.  I'm trying to remember
how to set the 40
column screen (display something something?) but not
having much luck.  I had a
quick look through the OS-9 manual and another
look through "Inside OS-9 Level
II" but have come up empty so far.  Anybody
care to try jogging my memory?

Once
I have a bootable NitrOS9 disk image in 40 column mode I'll use my
Windows 98
machine to write a real disk for my real coco.
