CLImax For all those people who wish that their CLI windows had
25 lines of 80 characters just like an old fashioned non-
windowing computer, the answer is here. CLImax creates a
borderless backdrop CLI window on a custom screen. Also
thrown in is MoveSys, which reassigns SYS:, C:, S:, L:,

disk devices and eliminates addmem commands from your
startup sequence. Version 2.0, includes source.
Author: Dave Williams
MoreIsBetter These two hacks make MORE more useful. One is called V;
it's a small "pure" CLI command that acts as a front end
for More, causing it to create its own window. Make V and

surgically alters the CON: window spec inside More enabling
it to, for instance, use ConMan features to create a
borderless window on the topmost screen (very useful with
CLImax). Includes source. Author: Paul Kienitz
