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.

Why does it matter what the default size is? It's easy enough to change.
Because I asked :)Quote:

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? :D
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.Quote:
