the textmode() function...


Sorry :-)
textmode (int _mode) does change the screen mode but it seems to be a little
limited in the modes it can set.

The _set_screen_lines (int nlines) function offers more modes (80 columns
with 25, 28, 35, 40, 43 or 50 rows), use gettextinfo (struct text_info *_r)
to check whether it worked or not. All of the above are in <conio.h>.

There are other text modes, the only way I know to use them is by using
VESA, if you want some code to do so then email me direct and I'll send you
some.

Hope this helps.
