I note that the xdosemu does indeed start up an X Window, but not with the intense colors used with MSDOS. Is there a reason for that? Also, I find that I am unable to resize the font as I would with, say, an xterm, and the window will not resize to full screen.

Thanks for any explanations.

Mike

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!

I don't understand what you mean. I see bright foreground and background colours both working.

Press ctrl-alt-f to resize to full screen.
You can choose a font using $_X_font, or by using the xmode utility. Otherwise resizing with the mouse just resizes the default bitmapped font but does not add extra lines like xterm does.
