- Allow me to clarify. I know that you can run a DOS window, which runs
- in a graphics mode and is a full 80x25, but only occupies about 2/3 of
- the VGA screen. However, as far as I can tell, you cannot make it any
- smaller than that without losing sight of part of the 80x25 screen.
-
- In DV/X, for example, you can open a DOS window with scalable fonts, and
- you can then resize the window as tiny as you please, and it will
- continue to display a full 25x80 screen. Of course, the type gets
- tinier and tinier as you go, until it becomes virtually unreadable.
- But, it *does* work.
-
- I would dearly love to be able to do this in OS/2...
