Small font for resolutions bigger than 800x600 with GRADD based drivers
=======================================================================
This patch changes the WINOS2 drivers of GRADD based display drivers
so they use small fonts with resolutions bigger than 800x600.
The patch is compatible with the drivers (ISGDI2VM.DRV and IFGDI2VM.DRV)
that come with Scitech Display Doctor/PRO GA.
USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. THIS IS NEITHER SUPPORTED BY IBM NOR BY SCITECH.
IT IS ENTIRELY YOUR RISK TO USE THIS PATCH.
Usage:
1.) Kill all WINOS2 sessions.
2.) Unpack this ZIP file in x:\OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM
3.) Open a commandline session and go into this directory.
4.) Invoke MAKSMALL.CMD. This backs up your drivers and applies the patch.
5.) You are done.

Hello
During the last days I've tried gradd and sdd again and found that the
problems with WinOS/2 are still the same.
1. At horizontal resolutions of more than 800 it switches to 120 dpi.
2. [...removed...]
Solutions:
==========
1. You can patch the drivers \OS2\MDOS\WINOS2\SYSTEM\I?GDI2VM.DRV (?
means either F like fullscreen or S like seamless). Search for the
sequence 3D 20 03 76 05 and replace it with 3D 20 03 EB 05.
Should occur only once. Upon the next start of WinOS/2 the driver
switches always to 96 dpi. Maybe someone can write a REXX script.
2. [...removed...]
