1. dos graphics in a window
Hello. Is it possible to adapt a program that use the graphics.e system
so it runs in a window instead of fullscreen?
Perhaps is there a library or tool to convert the code so it runs with exw
instead of ex.
Regards,
Marcos

Hitting Alt-Enter usually toggles between full screen and windowed DOS mode
under Windows.
From earlier posts here on the matter, there doesn't seem to be a programmatic
way to check or force one mode or the other. Initial mode depends on which
compiler was used to generate the specific instance of exwc.exe you are running.
If running a .exe, that would be the compiler which generated the instance you
bound your program with, or the compiler used to translate the program.

It is not the case in windows XP. Hitting alt-enter only minimizes the window.
What I am looking at now is some form of translate easily the dos version of the
program to a win32 version.

Have a look at "dos_rescue.ew", an include file I created
to get Language War, a DOS graphics program, to run in a Windows
window.

You might have to tweak it a bit for your purposes.

I beg to differ with you here marcos, Hitting Alt-Enter does toggle between
full and DOS screens. With programs written in .ex under windows XP.
