   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...
