Re: New Windows installer for vDos-lfn

[Kari Eveli lexitec@xxxxxxxx]

Hi Wengier,

Thank you for implementing this! Yes, the SCREEN directive works,
although there are some rough edges. If the WINDOW value is too big, the
application window will not stop at the edges, and in this situation, if
I try to make the window full screen, the application crashes. The
solution is to do this by trial-and-error. The screen and window values
are a pair. Once you have the right values, and you change BOTH values
at the same time, all is well, unless you venture to drag the
application window from screen to screen and go full screen, which can
also end in crashes as I reported previously. Ideally, the application
should not crash, but it is quite workable from my perspective as it
stands. Normally I use a certain screen of the three monitors I have for
a certain virtual machine. I think the application should check the
dimensions of the current screen before attempting to resize to full
screen and adjust accordingly.


The TOPWIN = ON setting solved the problem. This is just great!
