Msg: Re: Testing printing with vDosXy 500

Thanks, Kari.

In my out-of-the-box setup the CTRL-Mousewheel only works from the windowed view, and then only takes it up to around 60% of the screen. Once it has gone to fullscreen though it's game over and apparently no further changes can be made. (But I like the mouse wheel thing for what it is.) I'll check that WINDOW directive for any other possible options.

Jordan,

Where (for example) it says in the PCL__.PR3 printer tables, "MDUL+10",
does that mean you need to format as ≪MDUL+10≫ for the underline,
instead ?

No, Xy3+ is still Xy3+. Let's take an example: you issue "MD 110" for
Times, 10 point, and "MD RV" for italics. The corresponding line in PT
tables is "MD RV+18|TR12" under "PT=101,110". The font definition part
is located under "18|TR12" (10-Point CG Times It). The width tables have
the same name "18|TR12". So, the "MD XX+" is followed by the font name.
On the other hand, "MD UL+10|TR12+UL", which is the corresponding
underlined variant, uses the normal font "10|TR12" and adds UL from the
attribute definitions table.

Under vDosXy, some modes are not as visible as they were, so some
changes with the Color Table may be in order ?

You may have to experiment!

>Here's another one: going to full-screen from windowed seems to extend
things beyond what can be utilized or controlled. That iteration of Xy
cannot then be resized again, near as I can tell. Is there some way to
tailor a custom-sized screen -- say, to 75% to 90% of your display ?
How to go about this.

Edit "WINDOW" directive in config.txt and restart the environment. Or
Ctrl-mouse wheel to change instantly. Also read the documentation for
other window manipulation tricks (readme_first.txt and manual.txt).
