Hi people;
Is there any way of make a scrollable DOS Box under Win95/98 to see the
top of long error messages produced by the euphoria compiler ?
Thanks

You could try using the MORE command. Here's an example:
dir | more
The output of DIR will be piped to MORE which will pause at every page until
you press a key. So you would probably use something like
'emake | more' or 'exw bind.exw filename.exw | more'. This won't be a
scrolling DOS box but at least you'll be able to see all of the output.

I'm pretty sure you can get this effect by changing the Screen Buffer Size in
the
Properties window of any Win95/98 shell. I've got mine set to 300 lines and it
scrolls.

Hi Ron;
This is ok for for Win2k, but this option is not avaliable in the
properties windows of Win95 shell, so when I receive a long error message
from euphoria in a dos box session, I cannot read the upper part of the
message, and I have to open the ex.err file.
I change the number of lines in dos mode ( mode con lines=50) so messages
of 50 lines could be read. But... this is not a solution...

How about if you go to the command line and type:
ex myfile.ex > output.txt
That way, the screen's output is routed into output.txt, and after the
program crashes, you can just go into notepad and view the whole thing.

Try this at the command line:
ex myfile.ex > output.txt
Then when your program crashes, open the error message in notepad.
Sorry if you get this message twice, I've been having email problems.

Right. It's been so long since I've used '95. The only other options I can think
of
have to do with creating files or reading the ex.err file. But I guess you're
trying to avoid that.
