\usepackage{listings}


\lstdefinestyle{DOS}
{
    backgroundcolor=\color{black},
    basicstyle=\scriptsize\color{white}\ttfamily
}

\begin{document}
Hi, I am Garbage Collector!
\begin{lstlisting}[style=DOS]

  • Nice. I trust the listings package lets the user change the color scheme (as you can do in windows) for printing something other than white text on black.

  • @EthanBolker Yes it does. I can just change the background color etc to get a nice looking terminal

    @GarbageCollector: Also the c above is lower case...it is actually upper case in cmd's window.

    @GarbageCollector; I was just saying that to again point out that your post isn't a screen shot. It's further proof!
