Screen Text #4749

Open nedder77 opened 10 months ago

Question

Is there a way to make the screen have more lines, or scroll back to lines that have been pushed off the screen? or is there a way to push all screen text into a log file that can be referenced later?

I am trying to run an older program that I could run in WinXP, but in WinXP i can scroll backwards to see text that had been pushed off the screen, I haven't been able to figure out a way to do that in the original DOSBox nor any other versions and wondering if it is possible here? Either directly on the screen or at least by pushing all output also to a log file of some sort.

Have you checked that no similar question(s) exist?

You can make the screen larger using the mode command, but you cannot scroll back.

The maximum supported size is the following:

mode con cols=132 lines=60

To see the valid options, run mode /?.

On PC-98 there is a software called xscript that saves text output to a buffer and scrollback on-demand. (Unfortunately, it didn't work on native DOSBox-X PC-98 mode, so you have to boot a PC-98 DOS). Maybe similar software is available for IBM-PC as well.
