   detection of character-amount that fits

   Hello!   
      
   When using the CRT-unit of BP7 for creating real-mode DOS-   
   applications, there are the two variables WindMin and   
   WindMax. Lo(WindMax)-Lo(WindMin)+1 gives the amount of   
   characters which fit into one line of the screen/window.   
      
   Is it possible to detect the amount of characters which fit   
   into one line of the screen without using the CRT-unit (and   
   also without writing character by character to the screen   
   until the x-coordinate switches back to 1 again)?   
      
   I already searched SWAC, Prof. Timo Salmi's FAQ and google.   
   What other resources would you recommend?   
      
   Sincerely   
      
   Sam
