So, we formatted that computer, Installed Windows XP, and everything works exacly how it always has! Who would ever have thought that a newer version of Windows would actually have BETTER ms-dos support than an older one! Using cmd.exe we got better results but that showed that it affects other programs as well, not just ours.įurther testing showed that using in a window was extremely flakey with cmd.exe only "sort of" buggy.

We couldn't even get past the first install window! It wanted you to "push enter to continue" and we couldn't do that, even with mouse movement (I assume since it wasn't looking for mouse movement and didn't have a cursor).

RE: Borland Pascal 7.0 on 1.8Ghz plus computers. They're too busy wondering what you think about them. Specs for VBE modes can be found here: Regards,īert worry what people think about you. There is also a VGA mode with 80x43 screen size. writing to screen doesn't have to be interpreted by anymore).Īs for the character size: if you know your application will be run mostly with recent graphics' cards, you should consider to support VBE text modes (modes like 80圆0, 132x43, 132圆0 are some examples). ) and I/O operations can be performed more directly (e.g. In fullscreen mode, the time slices may be larger (no graphics rendering, polling mouse is done by DOS driver. ) and the time slice the DOS program receives is rather small. If the mode is windowed, there are still lots of other things that need to be done (rendering graphics, polling input devices. When DOS programs run under Windoze, the processor is switched to virtual 8086 mode. The characters are about a half inch high on their monitors. The idea of running dos fullcreen didn't go over well with the users. Hopefully it is something small that can be tweaked to get this working. It's looking to be something to do with CPU speed and allocating resources for a windowed version of dos that causes the input buffer not to be read until you move the mouse. Tried them as they were some of the few "patches" to Dos on current machines, you never know what they can fix.ĭoes anyone have any information pointing towards the differences between fullscreen DOS and windowed DOS? The fact that it does work in fullcreen is promising because it shows it can still work fine.under the right circumstances. The patching the NTVDM.exe idea at: Īnd installing the Long Filename TSR.
I have also tried quite a few other ideas.
#Turbo pascal borland 7.0 code#
Idle Sensitivity didn't seem to make a difference and i'm going to try to force a screen refresh or something a few times a second in the code next. The super-short term resolution for this is that it DOES work in fullscreen mode (you can use alt+enter within a dos window to do this).
