Remember MSDOS ??
 

Well i have a program called "Professional Write" and it must be run in DOS, its a floppy, not even a CD!

Problem is, on winXP the command window is so small, it wont let me maximize it.

Does anyone know a way to maximize this window? Or do you know any other programs that act as a third party MSDOS?


Thanks for any help.

In the program or shortcut properties you should be able to specify a window size.

SpaceAce

Well i right clicked on it and went to window properties ... selected "open maximized"

and its still this itty bitty rectangle window.

Even if i hit the square on top right of window it doesnt change size.

i can sell you an 8080 pc for $399

heh remember the old AT days? LOL!!!


yep, this program was designed for back then, but i need to run it now for a special reason.


Nobody knows how to get a maximized command window?

Change your screen resolution.

When you open the properties window, select "Options", you'll see "Display Options". Select "Full Screen".

I'm not even gonna ask why you're using ProWrite. I've probably got an old copy of WordStar around here someplace if you wanna upgrade...

perfect, thanks.

See a buddy of mine owns an insurance business, and as hard as this is to beleive, he has his entire book of business in ProWrite.

Maybe 15k people.

He is the kind of guy that wont change until it doesnt work anymore.

Ive offered many times to make him a custom program with a VB front end and an SQL or Oracle back end, but he wont change! lol


Thanks alot.

:thumbsup first thing I thought
