W98 DOS7 Screen Mode fix?
When I run DOS program under W98/DOS7 they look like they have been flattened, like a wide screen movie viewed on a regular screen. Is there any way to fix this? Mode command? - = - Vasos Panagiotopoulos, Columbia'81+, Reagan, Mozart, Pindus, BioStrategist http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/vjp2/vasos.htm ---{Nothing herein constitutes advice.

(right click the title bar, choose properties and change the Font tab Font Size (probably to Auto); also look at the Screen tab and confirm that Usage Initial Size is Default. |

W98 DOS7 Screen Mode fix?
I will try co80.
What happens is old DOS programs, even running in pure DOS mode don't use the full screen under w98. They use like a stripe in the middle. It is most annoying with EMACS. I know if I dual booted DOS6 and DOS7/W98 I won't have this problem, but it seems excessive. - = - Vasos Panagiotopoulos, Columbia'81+, Reagan, Mozart, Pindus, BioStrategist http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/vjp2/vasos.htm ---{Nothing herein constitutes advice.
