Win95 & Thinkpads



I have a 365XD.  When I run a MS-DOS application, it runs in a partial
screen mode (see below), even if I set the property to full screen.  The
image is there, just shrunk to a window size, with a black border all
around it in full screen mode.

Anybody know why?  Anybody have a solution.

Here is an excerpt from a post I sent to
microsoft.public.win95.msdosapps, and a response.  Do you agree with the
response?

----forward----

This sounds like a problem (feature?) of the Thinkpad computer. Due to
the
nature of the LCD displays in notebooks, some DOS programs that require
unusual resolutions cannot utilize the full LCD screen.
