 sr>>> I did try it under DOSEMU but as I use a 21" screen my screen

 SA>>         Whoa..this is totally new...because of your screen size
 SA>> allfix         messed up?!  What text would do that.  Its all

 sr>> Second time quoting you has gone awol. Anyway that would be how the

 ml> its not the large screen... its the high resolution... possibly he's

 ml> the OS and video card/drivers may also come into play...

        That's why I hope someone might test it on their end and see
        what happens.  I know I still prefer 25x80 myself.  Now many
        programs look good in other formats.  

... Technically, its a "trojan", not a virus, but anyhoo...
