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.
