_how to know if we are in full screen or Dos box? - _Mensliber_ - 08-25-2004

i text mode
i think it's useful to switch to 40x25 or 80x25 if we are in full screen because the screen 80x25 it's seen in a better way in a Dos box than 40x25 and vice-verse, Windows changes the fonts

this way the user do not need to change the font size to read correctly the screen
maybe you'll tell me detecting Alt+Enter but the full screen also can done with the tools bar button

any idea?

Code:
SCREEN 12 : SCREEN x

Change x to the text mode you want

This will force it to full screen, 'coz SCREEN 12 is graphics.
