Jim -
Run your icon as a Window, and after R:BASE is loaded, you can right-click
in the title bar, choose properties and then Fonts and change the display
size. You might note that the mouse will no longer work in a DOS Window.
Be sure to test out all complex menu choices - especially ones with declare
cursors and ones that are real memory hogs. You may need to do some
tweaking of the WHILEOPT setting.
Of course, the best thing you can do is upgrade all your apps to the Windows
version! <g>

Subject: Win2k Pro and RBase Dos Screen sizes
G-Day all
Just want to clarify something. We are presently using RBase version 6.0
for DOS and we are converting several machines in our company to Windows
2000 pro. From what I have experienced you can only have one of two
choices by right-clicking the RBase Icon and selecting properties. That
is of course, full screen, and window... If we go to using a window then
it's small and not very functional. On the other hand if we go to the
full screen with people that have high resolution settings we get RBase
running in about the top 1/2 of the window with a big blue area below it
and RBase's menu's and such are distorted and that doesn't look to well
either.
When using the window option, I have attempted to set the screen size to
various sizes 12 X ?? or whatever is available but even the largest
values leave the window to small to work with.
Are there any other options without changing the resolution? with
version 6.0
The other question I have for those who have tested this. Does the new
version 6.5/6.5++ take care of this little problem?
Thanks for any info
Jim Limburg
