don't scale the window... adjust the font size in that process'
properties... if it is the winwhatever flavor, that may not work and you
might want to get the 32bit DOS version which winwhatever generally does
allow the fonts to be adjusted for... instead of 8x12 or whatever the
default is, double or triple both numbers to maintain the aspect ratio...
those are the screen pixels for widthxheight...

i don't have any winwhatever newer than Vista and only one of those left...
on this newer shite that's being excreted, you have to use emulators to be
able to run old DOS 16bit code... that means using their hyper-v, adding xp
mode, or something like dosbox, virtualPC, vmware, and similar... you may
have to run the VM in fullscreen mode if your screen resolution in the host
is high making everything look small like a helicopter hovering at 1000feet
over your neighborhood instead of at 100feet where things are easier to see
but you can't see as much...
