How can I make a .exe that runs with no console window under Windows?

AnnoCPAN - PAR::FAQ
I found that this is not documented on all versions of pp ... Some versions have a more complete doc than others when you type "pp -h" etc. (This should be reasonably documented now.) When searching for an answer to this myself, I found many references to using "exetype" ... it comes as a .bat with ActivePerl, or you can find an exetype.pl from several places. You run "exetype file.exe [WINDOWS|CONSOLE]". This worked, I think, but still did not achieve the desired result on my PAR executable.

How do I make Acroread start up with a larger window?

OSU Physics Faq's
One choice is to set it in your .Xdefaults file, which lives in your home directory. You can specify all sorts of defaults for Acroread (or any other X-Windows application) in this file. (I think another choice is to use the .acrorc file, but I haven't tried it out. The commands are probably the same with out the *acroread at the beginning.) To adjust the default size of the window in which the text appears (which is called the "document shell", add these lines anywhere in your .

Why does the freakin' image window drift down the screen?

XV Frequently Asked Questions
In another of a long line of Design Decisions I Regret, xv tries to do all sorts of clever things with regard to the image window's position on screen. For example, if you issue the Max Size command, xv will position the window so that the window's contents exactly fill the screen (and the titlebar, frame, etc. are off the edges). Clever when it works, a big pain in the ass when it doesn't.

How do I get from an X-Window session to a console?

Linux FAQ
When switching between text-mode consoles (VC or "virtual console"), you merely need to use the ALT modifier (ALT-F1 through ALT-F7). While running an X server, you use the CTRL-ALT modifer to get out of X and back to a text-mode VC (CTRL-ALT-F1 through CTRL-ALT-F6). Also, CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE will kill X altogether, and CTRL-ALT-KEYPAD+ and CTRL-ALT-KEYPAD- will switch between available resolutions.

Is there a better alternative to the standard console window?

The Cygwin FAQ
Yes! Use rxvt instead. It's an optional package in Cygwin Setup. You can use it with or without X11. You can resize it easily by dragging an edge or corner. Copy and paste is easy with the left and middle mouse buttons, respectively. It will honor settings in your ~/.Xdefaults file, even without X. Don't invoke as simply "rxvt" because that will run /bin/sh (really ash) which is not a good interactive shell. For details see /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/rxvt-<ver>.README.

What should I do if the VirusBuster console doesn't start?

Because there could only be one console running at a time on a computer, you have to stop the stuck .exe file before you would restart it. To do this start the Task Manager with the Ctrl+Alt+Del key combination and then, in case of 9x operating systems, stop the VBCons task, in case of NT/2000/XP systems, on the Processes tab choose Vbcons.exe and stop the process with the End Process key.
