ScreenToggle is a simple DOS command that "Toggles" your DOS screen between 25 and 50 line mode. It works on most
versions of DOS, and it works in Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows ME.
Basically, it switches your screen between 25 and 50 line mode, and then tells DOS what mode to use. For instance,
when using ScreenToggle, DOS will use all 50 lines when in 50 line mode instead of using only half the screen; like when using MODE or proprietary drivers.
It does not require The MODE command or ANSI.SYS to be loaded.
It will not work properly for Windows NT based systems (Windows NT/2000/2003/XP/Vista/7/10/etc.). NT based Operating Systems
will override ScreenToggle and return your screen to its previous state. SS works on them, but 1/10 of a second later,
NT changes it back.
For: DOS, MSDOS, DRDOS, PTS-DOS, FreeDOS, Win3.1, Win3.11, Win95, Win98, and WinME. It works great on
DosBox for NT based systems, like WinNT,2000,XP,Vista/7/10/etc. Linux x86/x64 users can use either DosBox or DosEmu.
Commands:
SS - Toggles screen mode. If screen is in 25 line mode, it switches it to 50 line mode, and vice versa.
SS 25 - Sets screen to 25 line mode.
SS 50 - Sets screen to 50 line mode.
For best results, it is best to put it in your autoexec.bat's PATH= statement, or you can put it in your DOS or Windows/Winnt directories. See Maxdir (FAQ Q3) for directions on this.
For now, ScreenToggle is about as good as it will get, so no further development is in the works. It will always be
available here.
