What units are 80x25?
It looks like the same size as it did in Vista/XP. If it is different, it's not by much.

^ a unit
b <- another unit
C programming resources:
GNU C Function and Macro Index -- glibc reference manual
The C Book -- nice online learner guide
Current ISO draft standard
CCAN -- new CPAN like open source library repository
3 (different) GNU debugger tutorials: #1 -- #2 -- #3
cpwiki -- our wiki on sourceforge
Why does it matter what the default size is? It's easy enough to change.

Because I asked
But seriously, the app I'm finishing includes a default option that doesn't force a console resolution. I'm just trying to establish if I need to worry about it, since some of the screens depend on a minimum resolution of 80x25.

No change.
(Tested on Win7 RC1.)

Ah! And I had just sent you a message when I saw you online... knowing you would be using windows 7 already
Thanks.

No problem. Good luck with your app.

It's over actually, thanks. I'm just adding these meaningless touches to it, as I gather the courage to go back to the GUI client.

Just an thought - have you considered making your 'own' console window? That way you could fix some annoying problems with the console, like copy-paste functionality, and it would be impervious to future changes in the console.

I'm not sure I would know how to do that. But I do see your point and drool all over it.
My current framework for GUI development is wxWidgets which doesn't offer a "console control" I could manipulate. Something in fact I would really need much for the GUI client for this server I finished. Currently I'm emulating a console through a richtext box (don't freak. It's not so bad since it offers a buffer). So to build an actual console, I'll need Win32 development skills... and I dread entering into that...

I take it then that your output/input isn't safe from sabotage?
Assuming your not selling this client or anything... DosBox is open source, you could model something of your own after it. (and, heaven forbid, add copy-paste support!!) I haven't seen the code myself, but I don't think they use a cross-platform GUI lib (which would mean some work), but, maybe they do.

nah. That sort-of-console-emulator-greatness only serves for output. Think, Visual Studio Output Window.
