SUMMARY

Borland/Ashton-Tate has confirmed that Framework III and Framework IV may display garbled characters when task swapping within MS-DOS 5.0 or later Shell.

This problem can be resolved by loading the IBM EGA screen driver from the Framework setup program, SETUPFW.EXE.

MORE INFORMATION

Borland/Ashton-Tate Framework III and Framework IV may display garbled characters on the Framework screen when task swapping within Shell. Framework needs to be running in EGA 80/25 text mode with the IBM EGA driver installed to successfully swap in and out of Shell.

The SETUPFW.EXE file that is provided with the Framework software package will allow you to change the display setting to EGA 80/25 (80 characters-by-25 lines) text mode.
