Resizing Server Windows.
========================

This msg is only relevant to servers that use PIF files.
(All servers and externals written by me Require a PIF)

When these programs are run they open a window displaying a few lines of
information text, the information was to help me when coding the program and
is not really needed anymore although if any serious disk errors occur then an
error msg is sent to the window...

You can re-size the window down to caption size as per the visual-basic coded
programs, (the servers that don't require a pif) it involves a bit of fiddling
but isn't that difficult....

Experienced Windows people need not read this!

Lets for example re-size the /news window,

1: load news.pif into the pif-editor
2: uncheck the CLOSE WINDOW ON EXIT box
3: save the pif but DONT close down the pif editor
4: switch back to Winpack or File Manager and call the program either by
entering /news (from winpack) or double clicking NEWS.EXE from File Manager. 

The program will execute as normal but the window will remain open, this is
your chance to size the window and position it on the screen...

When you have sized and positioned the news window, click on it's FAR LEFT
window control button and select CLOSE, the news window now disappears....

Now switch back to the pif editor and re-select the CLOSE WINDOW ON EXIT box,
save the pif and exit, you are done!

   and CLOSE ON EXIT
