     MS-DOS 7.1 is from W98, W95 contains MS-DOS 7.0.

     BTW, you may join options: "/p/b/w".

     Well, this mean, that direct PS/2 hardware handling is not very
reliable method (or we implement it not in the best way).

     This is program/code, which unshrinks image in LCD screen. Without
this, image on the screen is shrinked about 2/3 of screen height (with high
black stripes above and below).

     It shouldn't.
