Re: piping make attempts to log

[Doug Donalson]

The problem you mentioned only really exisits in Win95, you CAN
get scroll bars in NT.  Go into the options for the dos window and you
should see options for setting the size of the window both horiziontal and
vertical.
Increasing the vertical will add a scroll bar, but only in NT, NOT Win95.
I'm sorry I can't give you exact specifics but I no longer have NT on my
system
and it was a while ago when I tried it.  Play around with the options some
and I
promise that you will get scroll bars.

Cheers,
