- DESQview Version 2.3
- Additional Information
-
- This file contains information which does not
- appear in the current manual or supplement.
-
- **** If you would like to print this file,
- simply type
-
- COPY READDV.ME PRN: ─┘
-
- at the DOS prompt.
-
-
- **** Installation
-
- DESQview now automatically copies XDV.COM to
- DV.COM when you install it into a new
- directory. It does not do this when you are
- upgrading DESQview on top of an old copy,
- unless you have already manually made a DV.COM
- file. If you are not sure whether you should be
- using the XDV program, read pages 138-139 and
- 147 in the DESQview manual.
-
-
- **** Setting the screen height
-
- Many users have asked for a way to
- automatically set the screen to a specific
- number of lines. In DESQview 2.3 you may now
- do this by setting the "Starting Height" to the
- number of lines desired for text modes of EGA
- or VGA adapters. Setting this value will cause
- DESQview to switch the screen to the proper
- mode when the window is opened, as well as when
- you switch back to it. For programs with
- "Writes text directly to screen" set to "N",
- you must also have "Uses its own colors" set to
- "Y". Both the "Starting Height" and "Maximum
- Height" values should be set to 43 for EGA and
- 50 for VGA. These are the only supported
- values.
