Console Application with ScrollBar?

[jchauvin]

The online manual states under "Using the Console" that If the console screen buffer is bigger than the console window, scroll bars are provided automatically. When I execute my Fortran console application, scroll bars to do not appear even after dumping 50,000 lines of output to the console. How do I get my console window to show a scroll bar so I can scroll back to review my output? What I am looking for is an execution environment similar to executing a program in a shell window under UNIX.

One more item, Quickwin does provide a scrollbar has the following problems:

Performance is horrible (Increases execution time by a factor of 2)
Unable to scroll back more than a few lines
Real time scrolling is not available

Thanks,

Switch to Windows 2000 (or XP). There, the console windows have buffers as long as you want them to be, with scroll bars. Windows 9x limits you to 50 lines at most. There's nothing Fortran can do about this.

With QuickWin, you're creating a bitmap, and yes, scrolling a large bitmap can be problematic.
