Well, true; what I mean here is programs that use the DOS screen-writing
functions (e.g. writing to device CON: in BASIC). Any program that does
this can use the Win95 rescalable fonts in the DOS window, in which case
small dot pitch is not a problem.
Unfortunately, many DOS apps bypass the BIOS and do direct
screen writes, using built-in fonts and assuming 640x480 resolution.
Sorry about the misleading use of lingo; I'm afraid I'm a bit of a
dinosaur (I still refer to memory as "core":-)
