    Hi all,

    I want to run MS-DOS 7 in a VMware VM on a laptop with a high-dpi monitor. By default, the detail of the picture is very small and therefore difficult to read.

    Is there anything that can be done to deal with this issue?

    Running Windows 98 and using DOS boxes (in desktop windows) allows the use of larger fonts. However, I still need plain DOS for running some programs, including some that I've written myself.
