[RBG7-L] - RE: Getting R:BASE for DOS to run full screen on W2K

[R. Scott Stanfield]

I have just recently installed DOS 6.5++ on a few Win2000 machines.  I would suggest running R:Base from a batch file where you set your paths and on the batch file icon on the desktop set the screen to Full Screen (with the right click properties).  R:Base for Dos seems to have minor differences running on Win2000 than WinME or Win98.  I have always opted not to use Win2000 because of the printer redirection on a network (LPT1) in WinME or 98.  Many of my programs output to LPT1 and LPT1 might be a different printer depending on the workstation. I then found the net use command that works really well for LPT1, LP2, or LPT3 redirection.  You can put it in the autoexec.bat file and is as follows: net use lpt1: \\computername\sharename  .       -----Original Message----- From: rbg7-l@rbase.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of John Engwer Sent: Wednesday, December 29, 2004 11:46 PM To: RBG7-L Mailing List Subject: [RBG7-L] - Getting R:BASE for DOS to run full screen on W2K I know that this question has been answered before but I can’t find the answer via search.  I have a need to run a DOS DB for a short time under Win 2000 and I cannot get it to run full screen.  I tried changing the font in the shortcut but it did not resolve the problem.   How do I get it to display full screen?   Thanks John
