Lines: 14 DOS scrolling in general is much too slow, fastfonts or not. I once wrote a dir command that formatted the output in memory, counted the number of lines, did a ScrollRaster() on the WB window then blasted the text out. It was plenty fast. That was a couple of centuries ago. It was a proof-of-concept program, with no options, etc., now living in the great hard drive in the sky. Maybe I imagined it. ..Bob -- Bob Page, U of Lowell CS Dept. page@swan.ulowell.edu ulowell!page Have five nice days.
