- This has never worked for me. The DOS window defaults to _almost_ full
- size all right, but _every_ window comes up full size including, as I
- remember, the OS/2 window at boot-up. This is unacceptable.
-
- The other thing that goes wrong is that the stretched window is not
- maximized. The maximum _stretched_ window still has the scroll bars on
- the right side and the bottom, so it's too small.
-
- If you have a way to get individual windowed applications in DOS and
- OS/2 to start maximized, I'd sure like to hear about it.
-
- Incidentally, I've never tried this since I applied the SP. Were these
- things corrected?
