* An ongoing debate between g00r00 and Jon Justvig rages on ...
I am trying to come up with ways to make 80x25 text window very usable
but there is always room for improvement. I am also looking into
adding optional 80x50 and/or 132x43 modes for MIS so that we have more real estate to work with.
FYI: under Windows 7/XP I use a 132x60 minimum "text" window by default for my own home-grown File Manager (DASD Vision, written in PowerBasic). This works well with a 1920x1080 display, even running WinXP in a VM. I am testing it under Wins 10 at present but from the gitgo it has worked flawlessly. :)
Both "Mode Con..." (Win DVM (CMD)) and "Console Set Screen..." (PBasic) support
this. Actually I allow Rows to be specified as 60-100 and Columns 132-240, also
supported by both (tested vigorously under Win XP 32-bit and Win 7 64-bit).
Also, I do a lot of "tail"ing of log files using the GNU tail -f ... command for Mystic quite successfully. I just have to specify a wildcard (*.log) in the
C:\Mystic\logs\ directory for a complete monitor (run from a BATch file). :)
p.s. Maybe an option in config for screen size? {chuckle}
