[Ham-Computers] W2K DOS App Window Sizing

Group,

Finally found and purchased an LCD flat panel monitor that is just ideal for 
TM scanning work.  Called a 21.3" (and probably soon to be a size no one 
makes), usable display width is almost exactly 17" and usable height less TIFF 
editor overhead slightly greater than 11".  So it will display a B-size foldout at 
1:1.

However, there is a fly in the ointment.  Scanned pages are at their sharpest 
when the display parameters are set to 1600x1200, the monitor's basic 
resolution.  But I have several DOS apps, at least one of which I use several hours 
most days.  The DOS window size appears to be fixed in pixels, apparently.  As 
you run the display resolution up, the window size goes down.  Aside from 
running it full screen, which has several disadvantages, is there any way to 
change the window size?
