A quick recommendation to those of you with "pretty" trailers-- Could you please make them 77 characters wide, instead of 80, for those of us who run in CON: windows? John

Being in that same boat at one time (77 chars) I decided it would be easier if I expanded my CLI. Simply because the larger % of UseNet users are using 80 col. machines and it was silly to ask them to switch for a small % that use Amigas. Sneakers PS: I used MOREROWS set to 30 & 30 then trimmed the size adjustments on my 1080. -- ___ Dan "Sneakers" Schein //// BERKS AMIGA BBS Sneakers Computing //// 80+ Megs of software & messages 2455 McKinley Ave. ___ //// 12/2400 Baud - 24 Hrs West Lawn, PA 19609 \\\\ //// 215/678-7691 \\\\//// {pyramid|rutgers|uunet}!cbmvax!heimat!sneakers

If you were to run JimM's morerows program, it would convince Workbench to open a screen bigger than 640 by 200. After running this program (which can be found on Fred Fish disk #54), you can resize the CON: window to be 80 columns by 25 lines, in spite of the title bar and resize gadget. I recommend it. The only program I've found that doesn't like morerows is Eric Graham's movie program. Both version 1.01 (Oct 27, 1987) and version 1.3 (03-Feb-1988) of this Sculpt-3D anim player die with the message "unable to open window". (They also require a stack bigger than 4300 bytes.) This is why the BoingThrows anim stopped working for me suddenly one day.
