Problem if current screen width isn't 80 chars (Announce)

Sorry, I assumed using "a screen with > 80" was a feature request.

The default is on, however, the "restore screen mode" option only test the number of lines. Using (not 80)x25 will skip the mode change. The adaptation is only tested using MODE CON LINES=XX, so there is a lot of unfinished work there. I?m currently a bit out of time (and energy) to do much about this at the moment.

I downloaded the setmxx file but only the 80x34/60 mode works using XP. Only the 80x34 actually works in DZ (good mode by the way), but the mouse is limited to 25 lines, so code needs to be added.

I added some init code for the columns and segment B000/B800, but this may also fail in some cases.
