   Maximize
  Hello, If you are writing a DoS program. How might you make it to where the user can maximize it or ( recommended ) it starts out at full screen? I am writing a text-based RPG and I want the DoS window to be bigger so I don't have to create a new line every time I run out of room. Thank you!   
  You'll need to be a little more specific:What programming language / API are you using?Do you mean "Console" as opposed to DOS?With this info people can help you more. James   ;  What programming language / API are you using? C++ - Dev C++ Compiler - iostream libraryDo you mean "Console" as opposed to DOS? Yes;  Regardless of the window size, it has some definite size; if you go to full-screen, you're still stuck with the problem of line-wrapping, should you choose to take it on. And there is really no way to find out how many columns to wrap to. Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it. At least in my environment, the user is able to resize console windows anyway (although the width won't exceed the 80 column default by normal resizing of the windows; have to go into the window properties dialog for that). Full-screening a la old-school DOS/Unix terminals is a whole other story.By the way, the operating system is called DOS in all caps; "DoS" is something entirely different (bringing down a network basically by spamming it with bogus requests).
