According to the MS-DOS manual of my M24 there is an ANSI.SYS support for 640x200b/w mode when switching to mode 6h (ESC[6h).
This works for the command prompt itself, however it does not work for applications like the MS-DOS editor, which then cause only garbage on the screen.
Is there any explanation for this? Shouldn't the DOS 5.00 Editor work in graphics mode like TopView does? Or automatically switch to 80x25 mode (that's what is done on my 486)?
The outcome is the same regardless of if I use the original Olivetti DOS ANSI.SYS or the one provided by MS-DOS 4.01. Or other applications like mTCP ftpsrv.
(Pictures say x400, but it's in fact x200. I am too used to write x400 when writing something about this PC...)
