I am using Dev C++ 4.9.9.2 both at home and at work/school. The black output screen at work - when I right click for properties - allows me to change the size of the black output screen, even affecting the default values. When I try this at home, I have more choices (tabs), but I do not see (can not find) anything to change the size of the black screen.
I did find that at home I can find a corner arrow, and it will zoom the screen. BUT it seems to always be 80 characters wide. At work I can change the width to become 120/135 wide and 60 deep.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Guess what - there's no Layout tab in Windows 98. You realise that OS is eight years out of date now?
you can try using the MODE command line to change the settings:
MODE CON LINES=60
MODE CON COLS=120

Win9x/Me use command.com, whereas NT/2K/XP use cmd.exe and the command line interpreter/console program. So the problem is simply that you are not running the same program. Cmd.exe is more flexible.

which operating system are you running at work and home?
On Win XP try the Layout tab and change both width values.
at home I'm using Windows 98, while at work I'm using Windows XP.
I see the Layout tab at work, but I do not see it at home.

"You realise that OS is eight years out of date now? "
Wow, so it was already out of date at the time it has been published?!
yes, that's not all that uncommon with MS products, get used to it :)

In what respect?
