    Increasing the console size

    Any way to increase the console size so I can have more than 24 vertical lines and 81 horizontal?

    Yes, but you need your compiler's graphic routines or some other graphics library.

    Note that emulated OSes don't play well with user manipulated console stuff, so you could get undesired effects.
    I haven't used a compiler in ages, so please be gentle as I try to reacclimate myself. :P

    I'm using the Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0!!

    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
