INF:_setvideomoderows with _VRES2COLOR or _VRES16COLOR Mode ID Number: Q61606

Summary:

In Microsoft C versions 5.0, 5.1, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0ax, and C/C++ version 7.0 when using _VRES2COLOR or _VRES16COLOR as a parameter for the function _setvideomode, it is important to note that these modes supports only 30 and 60 lines. Therefore, when a call to _setvideomoderows is made, the expected value returned should be either decimal 30 or 60.

Problems relating to 30- and 60-line support occur most commonly when setting the text position using the _settextposition routine. For example, if you set text to the center of the screen, you will notice that the text seems to be printed four lines above the center.
