  You can get the window and component sizes back to their original
  proportions by comparing the runtime screen width & height with those
  you designed it under:
    form.width:= round(form.width * (Screen.Width / DesignWidth));
    form.height:= round(form.height * (Screen.Runheight / Designheight));
  or you can scale the form by setting PixesPerInch to the "design"
  value OnFormCreate, BUT, fonts are another matter. The font size needs
  to be scaled to fit the new form size, and positions need to be
  adjusted so they all fit. I've been playing with this but have had
  only partial success. I have ordered a component called tSizer which
  is supposed to fix everything. I'll let you know how it works.

  No, Jud, Windows is designed to make money for M$. I think it has done
  a great job... ;)
