In win95, & I believe other OSs, the font chosen for display purposes
for a DOS box can easily be chosen, either on the properties sheet, or a
button on the window So you can choose a teeny 5x7 pixels or huge 16x18
pixels.
So you often can make the characters larger, even if you're still
restricted to 24x80 [lines by characters].
Often DOS programs can detect larger logical screens, e.g. 50x80,
60x132, or can be set to format their character displays that way (e.g.
Newviews, Framework, Magellan)
