Kind of a stupid question, but my DOS is very rusty. I'm trying to use GetType 2000 (030) and there is no readme file. When I start the file in a dos window, the parameters flash by too fast to catch, except the last portion. I've tried the \p instruction which usually worked to stop scrolling, but it doesn't work here, apparently because the program has its own internal \p parameter.

Any help on how to stop the scroll or a copy of those parameters would be appreciated.

Just run command.com. This should open up a dos window. Then go with alt+enter, this should maximize the window. Then try and run the program again.

Thanks for the reply but this is what I've been doing. The problem is that the paramater listing takes two screens and I can not stop the scrolling with the /p command which I usually use. I've managed to use a quick press of the "break" key to see the top of the first screen and it identifies a "/?" as a way to bring up this listing as the help file, but I still can't get it to stop with just the first screenful. I've tried reducing the font size and that didn't help either. Maybe I need to increase my screen resolution, which effectively reduces the objects printed to screen.

Any other suggestions?

Heya JMI,

You can pipe it into a file using for example dir in command.com

dir > result.txt

I can't recall (it's been so long since I've used GetType), but can't you just use a "| more" as in most dos apps that spit out pages of info?

Hi folk!
Instead of "/p" what you could use on the original GT(W)
you now have to type "gt2 .. | more"
more is a Windows/DOS tools.
