For example, the Terminal font in >HyperTerminal only gives you a choice of 8 point and 9 point. HyperTerminal is a piece of crap. Don't base resolution decisions of font size on garbage software that Microsoft threw in for free with Windows. Almost any *real* software package will allow you to change fonts and sizes you use and/or magnification levels. I'm still using an old 1.0 version of Procomm Plus for Windows that allows for this. >Also, DOS apps aren't rescalable (without 'stretching', which looks >dreadful, at least on my 800x600 Micron). If you run DOS apps in a window, then you can do a lot to manipulate their size. It might be when you purchase the Plus! pack, but there are fonts just for DOS windows that allow for more size & selection variety for many window sizes. Hence, just stay in Windows rather than going DOS full-screen and playing the "stretchy game" and you can use that higher-res screen in the manner in which it was designed for. ------- Randy Whittle rwhittle@usa.net Marshall Graduate School of Business at USC http://www-scf.usc.edu/~whittle I'm for truth, no matter who tells it.
