- Often one needs more than the 76/77 columns for CLI display. One prior solution
- was use of the MoreRows program by Neil Katin; this required some kludging
- around with Preferences, though, before one could see the results of one's
- choices.
-
- ScnSizer permits changing BOTH the incremental ROW and COLUMN change, and the
- actual screen offset (with numeric parameters), AND makes the change instantly
- visible (no need to use Preferences).
-
- If you, like me, don't wish to permanently alter the Prefences data base for a
- larger "Workbench" screen, then put this program's usage in your SYS:s/Startup-
- Sequence file and/or run it on-the-fly to change the parameters are required.
-
- Caution: don't go wild with the changes, else you may offset your screen right
- off the CRT's display! :-)
-
- The parameters I use are entered per:
-
- CLI> ScnSizer 10 24 -5 -4
-
- which gives ME a 664 x 210 (640+24, 200+10) display, offset a bit towards the
- upper left corner, thus permitting a TRUE 80-column display in CLI, EMACS,
- Scribble, and many other properly-written programs.
-
- Source code (Manx 3.4a) is included; feel welcome to adapt this code for your
- own requirements.
