Hi, this may be a really stupid question, but I've got DOS box working fine, game running etc the only thing is I can't make the window the game is running in any bigger, ie my maximising it or by draqgging it from the corner. Seems like kinda a little thing to fall down on but I can change its size, very annoying! Any help would be great thanks

For a bigger window, use a corresponding scaler, either with one of the options "-scaler" or "-forcescaler" or by setting it in the configfile -- look there for available scalers.

For fullscreen, hit alt+enter -- shouldn't be a surprising key-binding for long-time users of MS systems 😉
