Not on my system, with my fonts, using 80x50 text, and 800x600x16-bits
video. 640x480 video is claustrophobic period, 80x25 text likewise, and I
haven't the foggiest how I would diddle the font settings to change it to
use the whole screen.

This is a known bug in Windows 9x. It's supposed to remember the state and
doesn't. Complaints to: root AT microsoft DOT com,security AT microsoft DOT com, and any
other address you can think of that will probably get a real human's
attention, since their bug report address is a forward to /dev/null or
whatever the WinNT equivalent is. Put X-Priority: High in it too :-)


Speaking of RHIDE, having heard all this wonderful stuff about 1.4.7, I
went to http://www.tu.chemnitz.de/~sho/rho/rhide.html (where the latest
version is supposed to be) and downloaded a copy and injstalled it, but it
looks, acts, and feels like regular 1.4.0!
