fullresolution maybe ?

or do you want black borders for the other 25% ?
That might be possible using your videocard (if you are on a laptop) DOSBox doesn't support that as everybody tries to get rid of those borders instead of adding them

I'm on a desk top with a lcd 24" monitor. I figured if I could reduce the window,it might help the video quality.
So I would set fullresolution to fixed?
I will mess around with the graphics card but I really did,nt want to change it cause I did'nt want to have to change it back after game.

thnx fr the help

One approach:
output=surface
scaler=3x
fullresolution=1600x1200 # put something here that is bigger than the game's resolution times 3

Another approach:
output=overlay # anything else except surface
fullresolution=1024x768 # put something less than your desktop's resolution here
You also have to set your graphics card or monitor not to stretch the resulting picture for this second approach to work.
