Hi John,
The border color of both windowed and full-screen vDosPlus is controlled by the second parameter of the recent PADDING directive. By default it is 0 or black unless you have customized the color 0 using the COLORS directive. To bypass the effect of the COLORS directive and use straight black as the border color, use -1 instead of 0 as the border color, e.g. PADDING=10,-1. Hope this helps.

Wengier,
Thanks for this feature -- seems to be working well -- but there's another change in this version (June 2016 branch): the black screen borders have disappeared in full screen mode. At least for this user, the change is unwelcome, because the background color, though off-white, is too bright when it fill the entire screen. Or do I need to adjust a config.txt setting to bring the borders back?
Thanks.

Subject: Re: vDos users: be aware: can't print again if prior print has locked the port
Hi Harry,
This problem is now resolved in the latest build of vDosPlus (vDos-lfn). Now vDosPlus will first try to delete the PDF file that already exists, and if the file cannot be deleted then it will create a new PDF file according to the scheme: #LPT1.PDF, #LPT1_01.PDF, #LPT1_02.PDF, ..., #LPT1_99.PDF.
Please enjoy the new vDosPlus!

vDos users: Be aware that printing using a PDF it locks the port, so you
must close out the PDF reader before you can print again. Otherwise, you'll
get the error message box:
"pcl6 or gswin32c could not convert printjob to PDF"
(Did I get that right, Carl or Wengier?)
