Dos Sessions (Text Settings) - Funk Software Proxy User Manual

DOS Sessions (Text Settings)

DOS Sessions settings control the text settings for full-screen DOS sessions.
DOS boxes displayed as a window in Windows and Windows 95 are not
affected. The DOS session settings are used to control the Text Font displayed,
and the Text refresh rate.
Text Font
The Text Font is the typeface and type size that Proxy uses to display the host
PC's screen when it is in text mode.
By varying the Text Font, you can increase or decrease the size of the host PC's
screen as displayed in the Proxy window. With a smaller Text Font, you'll be
able to see more of the host PC in a smaller window. With a larger Text Font,
you'll improve readability at the expense of requiring a larger window.
To select a Text Font:

The fonts in the list are shown previewed as they will actually appear. The names
of the fonts are composed of a typeface name and a size. Thus, the font "Proxy 8
x 14" is typeface "Proxy," whose character dimensions are 8 horizontal pixels by
14 vertical pixels.
NOTE: The text fonts called "Proxy" are fonts that came with your Proxy
package. Fonts with other typeface names are other Windows fonts that are also
suitable for text display.
DOS Text Refresh Rate
The "refresh rate" settings allow you to control how frequently the host PC sends
screen updates to Proxy. You can select from a list of refresh rates ranging from
"Fast" (the maximum) to "10 seconds."
The faster the refresh rate, the faster changes on the host PC will be reflected in
the Proxy window, and the "snappier" your session will feel. But with a faster
refresh rate, the host PC will be spending more CPU time scanning its screen and
transmitting changes, and Proxy will be spending more CPU time displaying
those changes.
