And you might need to set the paper width: [BX ]d PW=100[Q2 ] -----Original Message----- From: xywrite-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <xywrite-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> On Behalf Of Carl Distefano Sent: Monday, January 3, 2022 1:21 PM To: xywrite@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: CLRW Reply to note from Edward Mendelson <em36@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Mon, 3 Jan 2022 09:48:32 -0500 Edward, I'll try to break it down into discrete steps. > To start with, how did you set 100 columns - in the configuration file > or at the command line with config -set? I did it manually, with "config -set cols=100", but the result should be the same if you use the configuration file. > what commands in your startup.int are related to the window? > settings To set 100 columns and 35 rows as your working default, your startup.int would have: BX d sw=100,sl=35Q2 ;*; The position of the line within startup.int isn't critical, but I would put it towards the bottom, after the line that loads the printer file. Then, to force full screen in window #1: BX window 1Q2 ;*; What printer file are you loading? In my screenshot I'm using POSTGHST.PR4, which is based closely on Robert Holmgren's PostScript printer file for XyWrite 4. I suppose a follow-up question would be, How are you loading the printer file? In Xy3 a simple LOAD (or LDPRN) command does it; in Xy4, however, there should be a PP: table in SETTINGS.DFL, which lists the various printer files alongside the port (typically, LPT1 or LPT2) to use with the corresponding printer file. My table looks like this: PP:7 1 X:\XY4\POSTGHST.PR4 PostScript 1 X:\XY4\PCL.PR4 HP/PCL 1 X:\XY4\EPSON.PR4 Epson 1 X:\XY4\STANDARD.PRN Standard 1 X:\XY4\NO.PRN Null printer 2 X:\XY4\POSTGHST.PR4 PS select printer 2 X:\XY4\PCL.PR4 PCL select printer To load a printer file from the table, use the SETP command. SETP 1 loads the first file, and so on. Other things being equal, the above should enable you to reproduce my screenshot. For convenience, I put a ZIP file with POSTGHST.PR4 and my XyWrite 4 test document here: https://xywwweb.ammaze.net/dls/Xy4-100cols.zip I hope this helps. -- Carl Distefano cld@xxxxxxxxxx
