I'm having issues with controlling the size of a text-mode program. This is a database program (Dataflex) that I recently had working on Windows 98 DOS mode and now am moving it to Linux.

I have tried altering the resolution of console-mode using How do I increase console-mode resolution?, but that has no affect on the program size.

I have also tried changing the columns and rows variables which doesn't work. Also this which broke my Grub entirely.

Currently the program takes up the top left 1/4 of my screen. It looks tiny. I'd attach a picture but I don't have the 10 reputation points yet.

Has anyone else solved issues on controlling the size of a text-mode program? Or know of any solution. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Edit: I have 10 points now so I'll attach a picture. I had to take it with my phone, since I don't have access to terminal while using the program. I can interact with the program just fine, but it's just the size that's an issue.

The dataflex KB should provide the instructions that you require. If they don't work it's a support issue with DataAccess. TERMINFO must be set in addition to ROWS and COLS.
